Nottingham Forest shares Manchester City s worries, is Guardiola willing to give up on him?

According to well-known transfer reporter Romano, Nottingham Forest's 30 million euro offer for Rico Lewis was Manchester City, and Guardiola's team hopes to sell the youth training elite for 40 million euros.

The backcourt needs to be upgraded, and the biggest hidden dangers are eliminated. Last season, Manchester City experienced an jaw-dropping free fall sports, and the backcourt players were criticized for their poor performance. Losing Rodri's protection and Walker's guarantee, Manchester City's lack of single-defense capabilities in backcourt players was completely exposed, and Rico Lewis became the target of public criticism. With the joining of Ait Nuri and Reindez and Mattus Nunes adapting to the right-back role, Rico Lewis has lost his position and it is reasonable to be sold and cashed out. Guardiola's team needs to rule out this "time bomb" on the defense. Manchester City has entered a period of reconstruction, and Rico Lewis, who has lost the protection of the system, has become useless.

Send away the direct players, Guardiola also wants to eliminate the "intellectual demons"

The skills under his feet are good, the tactical awareness is outstanding, but the physical fitness is very mediocre. Rico Lewis is a typical "technical player" under the old-school passing and control system. Surrounded by the stars, Rico Lewis can become a special puzzle, and once the team falls into turmoil, the "science students" will be lost in the "lightning" environment of the Premier League after losing the protection of the system.

Guardiola used to like such players very much, and Manchester City paid a heavy price in the Champions League knockout stage. After being humiliated by the "lower and superior" in the Champions League, Guardiola changed his military thinking. The double championship in the 2022/23 season was based on the Giants. Rico Lewis once had the opportunity to stay in the team because of the label of a local youth training elite. Now it is time to leave the team and seek a freshman.
