“Pep style will suit you than Tuchel style of play” – £100m player urge to Ignore Chelsea and sign for Man city
According to latest reports, Chelsea transfer target Declan Rice has been told to snub a move to Chelsea in favour of a big-money move to Pep Guardiola’s Man City amid superb form.
However, This is according to former Manchester United midfielder Kleberson, who believes Manchester City’s style of play suits Rice.
Kleberson told PaddyPower: “Declan Rice could play for any of the top Premier League teams. He had a brilliant season last year, a great Euros with England and has started this season incredibly well.
“He’s still young so will continue to grow and become a better player, but already in his career, you can see how much he’s improved and grown up as a midfielder, especially technically.
“The top teams are always looking for players who have Premier League experience and have had strong performances over a long period of time, which is exactly what Declan Rice has had. The best teams are always on the lookout for players as they need a big squad due to the number of games that they play throughout the season.
“It would be good to see Declan Rice play for Manchester City as they base their play around keeping the ball for long periods of time, which is something that Declan Rice likes to do.
The style of play that Pep Guardiola creates would be perfect for him and the way Pep interacts with his players, is something that Rice would benefit from massively.”
