Orlando, Florida – Na so Manchester City waka enter Club World Cup with some new faces for their squad, after Rayan Ait-Nouri and Tijjani Reijnders join bellied dem, but e no be so good for Jack Grealish as na him dey chop bench.
Ait-Nouri don join from Wolverhampton Wanderers, and dem don cough up €37 million (£31.8m) plus €6m wey fit make sense for extras. Reijnders come from AC Milan, na €55 million (£46.6m) dem melt for him.
But wetin happen to Grealish? E don dey look like his future for de club dey hang like a bad jigida. Since wey he join from Aston Villa for record fee of £100m in 2021, na 157 times him don shine shoe for City, but this season, dem don reduce im play to just 20 Premier League matches. Na wah o!
Pep Guardiola, wey be de gaffer, talk say e no be personal as he leave Grealish out of last league match against Fulham wey dem win 2-0. Even Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips, wey don come back from loan deals, no dey for the squad too. E be like say na wah for dem!
Walker wey spend second half of last season for AC Milan no fit find permanent home there, and na after e don no play good bola since January 4 against West Ham. Phillips too dey chill since December 2023 after im spend last season for Ipswich Town.
Meanwhile, Mateo Kovacic go miss die tournament as City no show im name. But dem dey work to sign teenager Sverre Nypan from Rosenborg. No mind am, dem go send am on loan to let am develop.
Your eye fit catch this line-up: Ederson, Ruben Dias, John Stones, Nathan Ake, Ait-Nouri, Reijnders, Rodri, Foden, Haaland among others. Wetin you sabi!
And as dem dey ready to face Juventus for Group G top spot, City know say dem no fit slack, because if dem no win, e go mean dem go face Real Madrid for last-16 and na wah be dat. City win de last Club World Cup; wetin dem go do now?
For those wey wan watch, if you dey US, TNT and truTV dey on ground but for UK, Channel 5 go show 15 matches, so no go miss dem wahala wey dey ground!
As dem don dey prepare with Juvetus, make we see na who go run pass for di match, but I bet say e go be cracker. Last last, we fit see 2-3 for City. We dey jarret!
