The former Real Madrid player that Pep Guardiola asks for Manchester City

Manchester City is beginning to evaluate this season in the best possible way and after getting complicated in the Premier League, the club seems willing to focus on the UEFA Champions League, this makes the team seek to strengthen itself in the best possible way in the current season. Citizens want to have the best, and for Guardiola, a former Real Madrid player is one of them.

Miguel Gutierrez, only 22 years old, has become a true gem in Girona, the leading team in the Spanish League. The left-back transferred him to the red-haired club from Real Madrid in 2022 for a sum of four million euros, retaining 50% of his rights. His release clause is set at an impressive figure of 35 million euros, with the particularity that Real Madrid would be entitled to half of this amount if they wanted to repatriate him.

However, at this time, Real Madrid does not appear to be considering the option of bringing Gutiérrez back. Instead, the club has other plans in mind to reinforce his left wing. His priority target is the Canadian Davies, currently in the ranks of Bayern Munich. Despite having a contract until 2025, Davies is reluctant to renew, increasing Real Madrid's hopes of signing him next summer.

Manchester City has an advantage over Real Madrid

According to the newspaper 'Sport', the situation is even more complicated with the shadow of Manchester City looming. Girona, which belongs to the same investment fund that controls both Manchester City and Real Madrid, could offer the "citizens" the same opportunity to acquire Gutiérrez at the same price as the whites, as long as they have the approval of the Catalan club and notify Real Madrid of any offer they receive for the player.
