He hasn't even confirmed he's leaving, Manchester City's replacement for Gundogan

Iikay Gundogan is one of the players who has not yet decided his future with Manchester City. The German midfielder has established himself in a great way and now, surprisingly, his decision to stay or not in the team, so to avoid surprises, Pep Guardiola's club is already beginning to finalize his possible replacement.

It is an open secret that Manchester City enjoys the necessary financial muscle to remain one of the agitators of the transfer market. In this regard, everything suggests that Pep Guardiola's squad will do everything in its power to strengthen its midfield.

According to information compiled by Football Insider, Declan Rice (23 years old) reappears on the horizon for the Sky Blues. Priority subject in the plans of West Ham United, the London club has priced its young star in more than 100 M€. As a result, the Premier League champions will have to be at their wits' end.

How would Rice arrive at Manchester City? 

The formula in question to reduce the high cost of the operation would be the following: the inclusion of Kalvin Phillips (27 years old). A player who, much to his regret, is condemned to a secondary role at the Etihad Stadium. That said, this exchange would be accompanied by a significant investment by City for Rice. What is practically a fact is that the player will not remain at West Ham for next season.
