Guardiola is preparing a reconstruction of the squad once this abysmal season ends, and one of Tottenham's most valuable assets could be the Spaniard's first target
As the end of the season approaches, clubs are slowly but surely turning to making plans for the June Transfer Window - especially those that don't have many things to fight for. Although Man City still have a chance to avoid a trophyless season by winning the FA Cup, and despite their battle for the EPL TOP 4, this season was terrible, and reconstruction is necessary.
Given that Pep Guardiola ultimately opted to stay at Etihad, he'll be the main figure in the squad rebuilding process. The Spaniard reportedly wants to sign a full-back since his current options on both sides are insufficient.

Namely, while the right flank is at least somewhat covered by Rico Lewis and possibly Matheus Nunes (if Pep indeed changes his position as he recently announced), Josko Gvardiol is practically the only option on the left side, though his future at Etihad is allegedly more related to the centre-back position.
Therefore, the Cityzens crave the left full-back and may have found one in north London. According to the popular transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham's Destiny Udogie is a target they are seriously considering in Manchester.

The Italian of Nigerian descent joined Spurs in 2022 from Udinese for €18 million, and - after spending a season on loan in Udine - he became an integral cog of Ange Postecoglou's machinery. He's made 29 appearances in the current campaign, and tonight could note #30, as Tottenham host Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals.
Although his contract with Tottenham expires in 2030, Udogie is probably aware that the eventual move to Etihad could significantly increase his chances of winning trophies. According to Transfermarkt, the 22-year-old's estimated value is €45 million, though the Cityzens would undoubtedly be ready to splash out more money if necessary.
Either way, if Udogie decides to leave, Spurs can hardly keep him in London.
