Gianluigi Donnarumma: “I feel at home at #ManCity even though it’s not been long since I moved there. They wanted me a lot, made me feel important, and they already consider me one of their own.

“You feel enchanted listening to him [Pep Guardiola]. I thought it’d be like that, but the reality is even better than I expected. I hope to stay in Manchester as long as possible and have a truly unique experience…” [via Gazzetta_it/footballitalia]

Member of João Noronha Lopes’ Benfica presidential campaign team, Nuno Gomes: “We’re ready to do everything so he [Bernardo Silva] can return next season… I can’t promise. If I did, I’d be using Bernardo as an electoral banner without much substance.

“But we’ll fight, with every effort… I believe he wouldn’t come back with just any president. It’s an opinion. I don’t speak for Bernardo, I can’t read his mind, but that’s the feeling I have…” [via Record_Portugal/Sport_Witness]

Haaland ain't wrong 😂🤷‍♂️

Happy 24th Birthday, Tommy Doyle! 🥳

Around 50 Man City employees seen as integral to success bonded at The Black Cat Club in August for an informal night of darts/shuffleboard. Pep Guardiola wanted everybody involved; chefs, baristas, maintenance, analysis, security.

Guardiola and Pep Lijnders accepted an invite from Neil Warnock to watch his show at the Opera House in August. There was some surprise from Warnock the offer was taken up, with Guardiola/Lijnders staying until the end and going backstage for a chat.

BREAKING: Rodri is not available for #ManCity vs Everton, confirms Pep Guardiola.

Pep Guardiola on Kovacic: "It's a good news, starting for 50, 60 minutes. Step by step; he has to now give us quality moments, quality time, quality minutes. But step by step, it's important that he's back..."

Pep Guardiola on Omar Marmoush and Rayan Ait-Nouri: "They trained yesterday, they are much, much better, they are close to coming back..."

Pep Guardiola on Jack Grealish: "His impact has been massive since day one, starting playing to take back minutes and minutes, and this is what he wanted. The appreciation that we have with him, because he's a lovely, lovely guy. But for different reasons he didn't play much minutes [with #ManCity], and he's back to the real business, playing every game..."

Pep Guardiola on whether he has spoken to Jack Grealish since leaving #ManCity: "Not yet, when he left, but since then, no. Hopefully tomorrow, if he comes to the Etihad, I can see him..."
