Solely Manchester Metropolis have been speaking to PSG to see what’s doable.
Is he the proper match for Manchester Metropolis? The reply is: 100 per cent, he is not.
On saves, him and Thibaut Courtois, there are not any goalkeepers higher, possibly that’s sufficient for Guardiola to say he desires him.
However to play for Guardiola you need to be good along with your toes. Should you’re not good with the ball at your toes, you aren’t a Guardiola goalkeeper.
His distribution isn’t ok for a Guardiola workforce. And his different weak point is he doesn’t come for the ball within the air, he does not like coming for crosses and corners.
If there’s one league on this planet the place you need to be courageous like that, it is the Premier League. I can not see how Guardiola thinks ‘that is the right man for me’.
