Lucas Paqueta could face a significant ban after being charged by the FA for betting offences in a move which could have major implications on Manchester City’s summer but also Newcastle’s.
Paqueta has been a long-term target for City but the Premier League champions were waiting until the FA had finished investigating the West Ham star, having looked into potential breaches last summer.

Although Paqueta has responded by claiming his innocence and insisting he will fight the charges, the Brazilian has been accused of getting booked intentionally on multiple occasions, which could even result in a lifetime ban.

City had agreed to sign Paqueta for more than €80 million last year but the move fell apart after the revelations and they were hoping for a positive outcome in order to resurrect the transfer this summer.
However, the charges mean that City are unlikely to pursue their interest and could move onto other targets, such as Newcastle star Bruno Guimaraes.

Guimaraes has a release clause of £100m (€117.4m) which is valid for the month of June and City boss Pep Guardiola has been a long-time admirer of the 26-year-old, meaning a transfer could accelerate in the coming weeks.

© IMAGO – Bruno Guimaraes recently signed a new contract with Newcastle with a release clause.
’Exceptional’ Guimaraes likely to be a target of Guardiola
Guimaraes has established himself as one of the standout performers in the Premier League since joining Newcastle for €42m in January 2022, providing 16 goals and 14 assists from defensive midfield in that time.
No player in the Premier League won more ground duels than the Brazilian last season (268) and he also covered more ground than anyone else, leading to interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona as well as City.

Newcastle would demand Guimaraes’ release clause in full and have no intention of negotiating to sell their star man after it expires in June, while the player himself has continued to stress his desire to remain at St James’ Park.

However, the player has been called ‘exceptional’ by Guardiola and is believed to be high on City’s shortlist, particularly due to the appealing release clause.
With no other teams likely to have the means to meet Guimaraes’ release clause, the Magpies favourite may be faced with a tough decision if City make their move, with Paqueta likely to live in regret as he fights to prove his innocence in the coming months.

£300k-a-week Man City star who Pep called “irreplaceable” ready to leave.
One Manchester City star is now looking to leave the Etihad Stadium this summer despite Pep Guardiola’s admiration for him, according to a new report.
Man City exit rumours
Pep guided Man City to a historic fourth successive Premier League title this past weekend, with a 3-1 win over West Ham on the final day ensuring City would pip Arsenal to the trophy.
However, despite City sitting top of the pile in six of the past seven seasons, it could be a summer of change on the blue side of Manchester. There have been rumours on a number of star players potentially leaving the Etihad, with Kevin de Bruyne’s future unclear amid interest from Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, first-choice goalkeeper Ederson could also head for the exit door, with the Brazilian also having interest from the Saudi Pro League. Stefan Ortega’s future could also be decided in the next few weeks, with new contract talks stalling.
To make matters worse, an outfield star seemingly has his heart set on a move away over the coming months.
Bernardo Silva ready to leave Man City
According to Football Insider, Bernardo Silva has made a transfer decision and wants to leave the Etihad this summer. Paris Saint-Germain have made the midfielder a top target, with the £300,000-a-week star is now ready to quit after winning a sixth Premier League title in seven years.
Bernardo Silva celebrates scoring for Manchester City.
Silva, who arrived from AS Monaco, has been a key performer under Guardiola in recent years, but it looks as if his days in Manchester could now be numbered.
As can be seen, his stint with the Sky Blues has been extremely successful, with Guardiola praising the 29-year-old on a number of occasions.
“Everybody loves him and we want him. He’s really important for him to stay with us”, said Guardiola after Silva’s FA Cup double against Newcastle United in March.
Back in October, the City boss also called Silva irreplaceable: “I could stay here and talk for 10 minutes on what Bernardo Silva means for me and our team. He is a player that is beyond good in all departments – solidarity, intelligence, he understands everything.
“We are in love with him. The problem is he has no big cars, he dress maybe not for high style. He is humble and everybody loves him in the locker room. We were lucky not to lose him. He is irreplaceable. I know he is happy here.”

NEWSManchester City players left ‘annoyed’ by major change implemented by Pep GuardiolaPublished: 15:30 on May 22nd 2024 | Last Updated: 14:34 on May 22nd 2024By Harry Winters

Manchester City first-team players were reportedly left disgruntled by Pep Guardiola’s change to the schedule at the City Football Academy earlier this year.
The Sky Blues clinched a record-breaking fourth consecutive Premier League title on Sunday afternoon, beating West Ham United 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium to secure their sixth title in seven years ahead of runners-up Arsenal.
Phil Foden’s first-half brace and a second-half strike from Rodri to restore the two-goal lead secured Manchester City’s third trophy of the campaign, following success in the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup, and ahead of Saturday’s Emirates FA Cup Final.
The Cityzens can win their fourth trophy of the season with a win over Manchester United this weekend, with Manchester City having the opportunity to become the first club to win back-to-back Premier League and FA Cup trophies.
Sunday’s Premier League title success was Guardiola’s 17th major trophy at the Etihad Stadium, with the Catalan having also won a landmark treble last season, lifting the Premier League, UEFA Champions League and Emirates FA Cup.
The 53-year-old has maintained high standards since arriving in east Manchester in 2016, but could leave the club at the end of next season, with Guardiola out of contract at the Etihad Stadium in 2025.
Manchester City are unbeaten in their past 35 matches across all competitions, and the Blues’ recent title success could have been impacted by Guardiola’s decision to make a major change to first-team training at the City Football Academy.
Paul Hirst has revealed that Guardiola ‘annoyed’ players by changing training times in January, with the manager standing by his decision despite unhappiness from some members of the squad.
Manchester City have played 58 matches so far this season; with 43 wins, 11 draws and four defeats during the 2023/24 campaign to date.
Guardiola’s side will play significantly more matches next season, with an increase in Champions League fixtures and the expanded FIFA Club World Cup in America.

Exclusive: Fabrizio Romano names surprise potential replacement for Ederson if he leaves Manchester City
MANCHESTER CITY

Transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano has suggested that Manchester City might not need to sign a new goalkeeper if Ederson leave the club this summer as Stefan Ortega could be ideal to replace him as first choice.

Speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside for his Daily Briefing column, Romano praised Ortega for how well he’s played when he’s had to cover for Ederson, who’s had some injury problems in recent times.
Ederson has shone as Man City no.1 for many years now and it seems a gamble not to sign a top class replacement, but it seems Romano rates Ortega highly enough to step into the role.
Saudi Pro League clubs could be eyeing up Ederson, and Romano says City will ultimately leave it down to the Brazil international to decide whether or not to move on from the Etihad Stadium.

“Another story to watch with City could be the future of Ederson. There is, from what I’m hearing, a concrete chance for the Brazilian goalkeeper to leave City in the summer transfer window,” Romano said.
“There is interest from Saudi and other clubs, so we could see some movement in the goalkeeper market this summer. We’ll have to see what happens with the likes of Jan Oblak, Aaron Ramsdale and Bento, and it looks like Ederson could also be part of this domino. Man City will leave it to the player, they are aware of Saudi interest and won’t stand in his way.

“Man City are considering moving for another goalkeeper in the summer, and also they have Stefan Ortega at the club and he’s been fantastic, always very special whenever he plays, like that save against Son Heung-min that made such a big difference in the title race.
“In terms of a replacement, I personally think the best fit for them could be Ortega, who is already at the club. He’s shown he’s a fantastic goalkeeper and in my opinion he’s ready to be their first choice.”

Manchester City pair Pep Guardiola and Kevin De Bruyne could make a sensational switch to New York City FC in the MLS.
Both manager Pep Guardiola and senior midfielder Kevin De Bruyne are out of contract at the Etihad Stadium next summer, with the growing potential for the pair to leave the club at the end of their current deals in 2025.
Guardiola has been at Manchester City since 2016 and the 2024/25 campaign is set to mark his ninth season in charge in east Manchester, meanwhile Belgian midfielder De Bruyne has been with the club since August 2015.
De Bruyne has made 340 appearances under the management of Guardiola, with the 32-year-old having become a six-time Premier League winner last weekend, and also surpassed the 100-goal mark for the Sky Blues this season.
