# Potential consequences: Phil Foden to Juventus

**It’s fair to say that all over the pitch, Manchester City have quality in every department and that is what makes them so successful as a team.**

With the right mix of players, young, experienced and simply world-class, Pep Guardiola has the capabilities to go far with this Manchester City but not if teams continue to sniff around their players.

[The Daily Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/phil-foden-wanted-juventus-contract-13490942) have revealed that Juventus are hatching a big plan to prize away Manchester City’s Phil Foden, as they look to build their future squad.

What potential consequences could occur of such a bold move coming to fruition…

### England national team gutted

Just as the England national team has taken a turn for the best, one of their most promising starlets in Phil Foden, could no longer be playing enough football to keep him in contention.

With a massive move to Juventus, it’s extremely unlikely that Foden will join and straight away be a starter.

Manchester City have nurtured the young talent and give him sensible chances that maybe Juventus wouldn’t. This is only a negative move as far as England would be concerned, as they want Foden to arrive on-form and without game-time that can’t be possible.

### Manchester City have fewer quality young options

Having barely selected any young players before Pep Guardiola arrived at the Eithad, Phil Foden has been a breath of fresh air around the club as already at 18, he oozes quality.

Without him at the club, Man City will be hit by a massive blow and could miss him badly, should a move to Juve be allowed.
