Transfer news: Man City’s Pep Guardiola “That is not going to happen”

This will surely not die out here. Strong links got Manchester City looking at Kylian Mbappe for a possible transfer to the Etihad.

There will be endless rumours involving one of the best players in the world, as well as, one of the best managers in modern-day football. Manchester City finally broke their Champions League duck, when they beat Hoffenheim 1-2 away from home.

The scoreboard could have been a lot different but the ref was watching a different game and the keeper of the home side was on top form, unluckily conceding two in the process. City got points going for themselves and finally lifted off the bottom.

But enough about the game, let’s talk Pep and things leading to the game.

The Citizen’s manager was formally asked tons of questions as expected, when pitching in his first Champions League press conference since serving a ban. He was asked about his relationship with the opposition manager, and how well they know each other.

Asked how’s key player Kevin de Bruyne was looking in training since returning from a long spell on the sideline. Of course he met these questions with open arms and gave haste on his answers whether he would join the team anytime soon, or is it with ease will come back to action.

The question he did not take in so graciously…

One reporter during the pre-match talk went on to ask Pep about the truth behind the links between World Cup star, Kylian Mbappe and Man City.

Pep responded with, “That is not going to happen”. The manager was quite displeased and went on a small rant about his Manchester squad – speaking about, why ask about other players and not the players he has at the club, already.

“Show some respect ” I heard him utter.

Solid points made by the City coach. But are we buying his Butterscotch? Not one bit. This is where it all begins. If City is linked with a move to Mbappe, he is linked. Will they get him? Well, that’s another article all on its own.

As Space Jam gets recorded at Parc des Princes, with all draped in Jordan wear – it would be a mountain of a climb to haul any player out that locker room at the moment. Links are still going with an estimated amount of £200 million for the potent winger.
