The website "Fichajes" revealed that young player Rico Lewis has come onto the radar for a transfer away from Manchester City, after gradually losing the trust of coach Pep Guardiola. His future with the first team is seen as nearing its end.

The source explained that Lewis, 21 years old, has played 112 official matches for Manchester City so far, featuring in several positions including right-back, left-back, central midfield, and hybrid roles. However, this versatility has prevented him from gaining the desired technical stability and has given the impression that he is a good player but has not made the significant breakthrough needed in a team that strives for consistent excellence.

The same source pointed out that the recent defeat against Manchester United was a turning point, as the player faced widespread criticism from fans due to defensive mistakes and a lack of decisiveness in crucial moments, reflecting a growing sense of frustration towards him.

The website pointed out that Guardiola gradually reduced Lewis's participation in major matches, indicating a decline in trust. Meanwhile, the club began considering the possibility of selling him to make a financial gain of around 35 million euros, which could be reinvested in players with more experience or immediate impact.

The report confirmed that Lewis's future may lie outside Manchester City, given the need for an environment that provides him with continuity, confidence, and a defined role—something the current project does not seem to offer. Consequently, the player's chances of moving to other European clubs increase, benefiting from his early experience and training at one of the best academies in the world.
