Asked about a replacement, Guardiola stated: "We will see the chances at the end of the market, if a club needs to sell more than now for example, so I don’t know."

Asked about what he needs, the manager stated: "Maybe a holding midfielder who can play central defender or a central defender who can play in the position of Rodri."

Guardiola added: "For many years (they) have done it. Many years. But it’s not news. It’s just when City spends more."
