Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has reportedly been left in disbelief after a player he believed would commit to his project has shocked everyone by agreeing to join Liverpool instead — a decision insiders say was influenced by City’s capture of Antoine Semenyo earlier in the window.
According to reports circulating on social media, Guardiola admitted he never imagined a player he trusted so much would ultimately choose Liverpool, especially after City invested in strengthening their squad with Semenyo.
While details are still emerging about the transfer situation, Guardiola’s camp is said to feel betrayed given the long negotiations and apparent assurances that hinted the player was leaning toward staying at, or moving to, the Etihad.
City officials are now assessing how this unexpected turn will affect Guardiola’s plans, especially in light of their recent signing of Semenyo and the club’s ambitions this season.
