Guardiola chooses the most important player in Manchester City and it is neither Haaland nor De Bruyne

Manchester City is already getting ready to face a new season. The team is in Japan to play a series of friendlies and just finished their first match with a 5-3 victory. One of the big news for the club was precisely the return of Erling Haaland, who scored two goals in said match. However, now, Guardiola surprises with his most recent action.

The Spanish coach has had an unexpected transfer market after the departure of his captain and the constant news about the possible departure of Bernardo Silva and Kyle Walker. Now, Pep Guardiola has already decided to shield one of the elements that he considers to be the most important in the team. Even, all in the midst of the arrival of an element in the same position for the following season.

Nathan Aké will be renewed by Manchester United as reported by CityXtra and English media. The Dutch defender has been vital in the lower zone for Pep Guardiola and for this reason, the player will remain at the club for longer. The Dutchman arrived a couple of seasons ago and based on hard work he has managed to start his team and at Manchester City.

Does Ake's renewal rule out the arrival of Gvardiol?

The Dutch player has established himself in an important way in Pep Guardiola's team, but Pep believes that he still needs another defender and that is why efforts are focused on the arrival of Josko Gvardiol, the best defender of the last World Cup. Even Aké himself spoke to the Manchester City media and commented that the arrival of the Croatian would be a great signing.
