Midfielder Arne Slot refuses to work with, City Football Group, ‘wants to sign’ him

The group that owns Man City and other clubs, City Football Group, has its sights on a midfield player from Liverpool who Arne Slot will not be playing with.

In previous seasons, Manchester City has demonstrated a willingness to reach transfer agreements with Arsenal, while virtually little business has been done with Liverpool. However, the parent company of Etihad could potentially look to sign a midfield player from Anfield.

At least 12 different clubs are owned by the City Football Group. To execute a multi-club model featuring Liverpool, Michael Edwards has returned to FSG, though it’s unclear if the model will end up being nearly as detailed as that.

The model undoubtedly has advantages and disadvantages. Girona will believe it was a great success because the Catalan team has guaranteed a historic spot in the Champions League for the upcoming campaign (if City Football Group can demonstrate enough distance between the La Liga team and Manchester City). Troyes, which faces a second successive relegation into the relative obscurity of the French third tier, has witnessed protests, nevertheless.

Girona has expressed a desire to see Thiago Alcântara returned to Spain. With Arne Slot scheduled to depart at the end of his contract in the summer, the midfielder will not have the opportunity to make an impression on the veteran, barring an extremely unlikely turnaround.

Slot will be missing out on a fantastic opportunity. When Pep Guardiola was the manager of Bayern Munich, he is said to have said, “Thiago or nothing.” However, because to injuries that have derailed his autumn years, Liverpool hasn’t seen him much throughout the last 18 months.

There’s little question that Thiago can still play at the best level when he’s on the pitch. Furthermore, according to Carrusel Deportivo, there are “offers” to keep him in England. However, Girona is also a “possibility,” and Real Betis is making “an offer.”

Despite Guardiola’s affection for Thiago, considering his injury history and advanced age, it’s difficult to believe the City Football Group would choose him over Girona or Manchester City. However, one thing is for sure: under Slot, the 33-year-old will not be a part of the “Liverpool 2.0” concept.

According to Liverpool.com, there are several reasons to support Thiago’s transfer to Girona. Another opportunity in the Champions League at this point in his career would be a possibly unexpected bonus, and he could offer a wealth of experience to the dynamic side (provided the City Football Group can resolve the eligibility issue).

Even so, it would be odd if the Liverpool player found his way into the Manchester City system. Even while all of his ailments will limit his legacy and make it unlikely that he will live to see the Slot period, he will still be fondly remembered, if only in the context of “what might have been.”
