In a stunning twist, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is reportedly fuming behind the scenes after admitting he made a huge error in approving the sale of one of his key players to a Premier League rival.
Just weeks after guiding City to their historic fourth consecutive league title, Guardiola has confessed privately that the transfer was a miscalculation — one that could haunt the club’s title defence next season.
“I can’t believe I let this happen. They’ve scammed me, and I didn’t even realise. This could cost us the title,” Guardiola was overheard saying, according to sources close to the City camp.
Though the club has yet to make any official statement, insiders reveal that the player in question is already shining at his new club — a direct competitor for the Premier League crown. This has reportedly left Guardiola frustrated, questioning the judgement behind the sale and concerned about how it could strengthen a rival’s title charge.
A former City staff member said: “It’s a blunder you rarely see from Pep. Selling to a direct rival is like handing them your secret weapon.”
Fans and pundits alike are now speculating on who the player might be, with many pointing fingers at a handful of recent exits. Regardless, the mistake could open the door for challengers like Arsenal, Liverpool, or Manchester United to close the gap on the reigning champions.
One thing is clear — Guardiola is determined not to let complacency creep in, and City may look to react swiftly in the transfer market before the window closes.
The title race just became even more intense.
