Manchester City's young talent Rico Lewis has issued a strong message to manager Pep Guardiola, making it clear he is ready to fight for his place in the squad amid growing interest from Nottingham Forest.
Defiant Stance from Rico Lewis
The 18-year-old defender, who has impressed in his breakthrough season, has no intention of leaving the Etihad Stadium despite reported interest from newly promoted Nottingham Forest. Lewis has been a standout performer for City, showcasing his versatility and composure under pressure.
Guardiola's Faith in Youth
Pep Guardiola has a history of nurturing young talent, and Lewis appears to be the latest beneficiary of the Spaniard's trust. With competition for places fierce at City, Lewis's determination to stay and prove himself speaks volumes about his ambition.
'I'm here to compete and learn from the best,' Lewis recently stated, underlining his commitment to the club. His performances have not gone unnoticed, with several Premier League sides monitoring his situation.
Nottingham Forest's Interest
Nottingham Forest, back in the top flight after a long absence, are keen to bolster their squad with young, dynamic players. Lewis fits the profile, but City are unlikely to let him go easily, especially given his potential and current form.
Will Lewis stay at City or seek regular first-team football elsewhere? The coming weeks will be crucial as the transfer window heats up.
