Pep Guardiola has insisted that he is happy with his Manchester City squad regardless of whether they can bring in a new striker before the end of the transfer window, and that Robert Lewandowski will definitely not join him at the Etihad Stadium.
City are still chasing a deal for Harry Kane, and sources have told 90min that they will continue to run Tottenham for a transfer until 31 August.
Guardiola’s side were ironically defeated by Spurs last week in Kane’s absence, and the home crowd even sang ‘are you watching, Harry Kane?’ during the last minutes of the match. City were also beaten by Leicester in the Community Shield, but Guardiola has said he is still happy with the squad at his disposal.
“Absolutely, more than happy [with the team]”, he said, as quoted by ESPN.” It’s the same team except Sergio [Aguero] for Jack Grealish we had last season. “
Although a deal for Kane never really got off the ground, City have been linked with Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic, but it seems likely that the Serbian forward will go against Atletico Madrid.
In recent days, Lewandowski has also been identified as a possible striker solution for City after it was reported that he wants to try a new challenge. But Guardiola was determined that the Polish international would not join him in Manchester.
– Lewy is such an important player for Bayern Munich and he will stay in Bayern Munich, Guardiola says. “I’m not going to talk to you and your colleagues [in the media] about 11 days left on the transfer market. I do not know what will happen. “
City host Norwich in the Premier League on Saturday as they look for their first competitive win of the 2021/22 season.
