News about Eliaquim Mangala

Eliaquim Mangala, the world's most expensive defender, has revealed that Pep Guardiola told him to leave Manchester City because he 'wasn't what he was looking for.' Mangala obtained a £32 million contract from Porto in 2014, but the fee was later surpassed by Harry Maguire's £80 million transfer to Manchester United from Leicester. Guardiola's arrival in 2016 resulted in a significant decrease in Mangala's playing time, as well as loan spells at Valencia and Everton before finally leaving permanently in 2019.
