Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has come out to say that MLS star, Valentin Castellano is ready to move to Europe. He recently revealed this after the forward won the league title over the weekend with New York City FC.
According to him, he watched NYCFC’s MLS Cup final match against the Portland Timbers and was impressed by the player who broke onto the scene in the U.S. top-flight this past season with 19 goals and eight assists in 32 matches.
Guardiola added that his scouting department only has nice things to say about him, so joining an European club might be the next step.
His words, “I think he is a guy who will do the next step in Europe,”
“What I saw when the scouting department talked to me, I know he’s a quality player and ready to make the next step to Europe and we will see where.”
On the MLS Cup final, “We watched it in the restaurant and we couldn’t believe it. I was really impressed with the way they handled the extra time. When you concede a goal with 10 seconds left before finishing the game and being champions and have extra time you can be destroyed.”
“But in extra time, wow, they were much, much better. That shows how strong these players are, and the manager. It’s a huge compliment for the organisation for New York City because it is the first time and always the first time is special.”
