Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has ignited a firestorm after launching a sensational on Liverpool’s handling of their £100 million superstar — and the timing couldn’t be more explosive.
Speaking in a moment that has stunned the football world, Guardiola didn’t hold back when addressing what he sees unfolding under Arne Slot at Anfield.
> “I see what is happening there at Anfield and, honestly, it makes me sick to my stomach. If they don’t know how to use a generational talent like that, then they should stop being selfish and just give him to me. In my system, he would be a Ballon d’Or winner within a year, but under Slot, he is being treated like a rotation player.”
💥 BOOM.
The comments are being viewed as a direct swipe at Liverpool’s tactical decisions and man-management — with Guardiola boldly claiming he could turn the Reds’ prized asset into a Ballon d’Or winner within 12 months.
🔴 Trouble Brewing at Liverpool?
Since his record-breaking arrival, the £100m wonderkid has shown flashes of brilliance but has not always been a guaranteed starter. Rotation decisions under Slot have raised eyebrows among sections of the fanbase — but no one expected Guardiola to publicly wade into the debate.
Sources close to Merseyside suggest there is no intention to sell the player, but Pep’s provocative “just give him to me” remark has only intensified speculation.
🔥 Mind Games or Genuine Interest?
Is this classic Guardiola mind games ahead of a crunch clash? Or is Manchester City genuinely circling, ready to pounce if unrest grows?
Either way, tensions between the Premier League giants have just escalated dramatically.
One thing is certain — the battle between Guardiola and Slot is no longer just tactical. It’s personal.
👀 So… which Reds wonderkid is Pep so desperate to ‘rescue’? The transfer rumor mill is officially in overdrive.
