In 2021, Gallish joined Manchester City with a record of £100 million in the UK transfer record and became a key member of Guardiola's triple-champion lineup in the 2022/23 season.

Since joining Manchester City, Gralish has played in a total of 157 games for the team, contributing 17 goals and 23 assists. It helped Manchester City win 3 Premier League championships, 1 FA Cup championship, 1 UEFA Champions League championship and 1 Club World Cup championship.

However, in the past two seasons, he has been unable to get a stable chance of playing, and his position in the team has also declined significantly. In the just-concluded Premier League season, he made a total of 20 appearances, with only 7 of which were starters. In the FA Cup final of Manchester City lost to Crystal Palace, Gallish was just a member of the bench and was not sent to the court in the whole game. He was not even on the roster in Manchester City's 2-0 Fulham game in the final round of the season. It seems that his Manchester City career will come to an end.

According to reports from the Daily Telegraph and other media, Manchester City will remove Galish from the roster of the Club World Cup this summer. Because he is no longer in Guardiola's lineup planning, leaving the team in the summer window is a foregone conclusion.

In fact, Guardiola mentioned the possibility of his departure when talking about Gallish in May. Guardiola said at the time: "Of course, Gallish needs to play. He is an incredible player and has to play every three days.

But this has not happened this season and not last season. He has to play, whether it is here, or elsewhere.

This is a question that needs to be discussed between Gallish, his agent and the club. If he stays well, he will continue to fight like he did on the first day."

After the first championship-free season since 2017, Manchester City is now reorganizing the squad under Guardiola's leadership. Milan champion Reindez has agreed to sign a five-year contract, and they also hope to finalize French U21 international Cherki for £35 million, while also planning to introduce Wolves defender Nuri for £50 million.

Sources revealed that Gallish knew that he had no future at Manchester City and was open to leaving the team because he wanted to compete for the 2026 World Cup.

Xiaoou believes that in this case, it is actually a good thing for Manchester City to prevent Gallish from participating in the Club World Cup. His contract has two years left, and it is said that his weekly salary is as high as £300,000. Considering his expensive value and super high salary, coupled with his sluggish state, it is not easy for him to find a suitable next home. If he doesn't participate in the Club World Cup, he will be able to spare a lot of time to operate the transfer transaction.

Glalish comes from Villa's youth training system. He made his first team debut in 2014. He played in Villa's 213 games and was appointed captain in 2019, leading the team to return to the Premier League after being relegated in 2016. At the national team level, Gallish has made 39 appearances for England. But due to lack of playing time, Gallish lost his position in the England national team and failed to be selected for the 2024 European Cup roster this summer.

There is still one year left before the 2026 World Cup. If he wants to return to Tuchel's national team plan, he must find a next player who can get enough opportunities to play.

It is understood that several Premier League clubs may be interested in Glalish, and he may transfer through loan. Finally, do you think Gralish can return to the top?
