MANCHESTER CITY have released their official away kit for the 2018/19 season.

















“We want him to stay but he does not have a work permit yet so we will try to convince the federation to allow him to stay,” Guardiola said.
“I think he has real potential to play with us and improve with us.
“We saw in pre-season against Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund that he is at a good level.
“It depends on him and us. The club wants him to stay and he wants to stay but it depends on the work permit.
“He’s ready to play, that’s why we want the permit."

The Brazilian rejected a move to City to rejoin Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea
“We ask for the work permit because we believe he can play with us, otherwise we would not be asking.”

Guardiola added: “Jorginho is a special player for the way we want to play.
“We will try to find the same but we have Douglas, as long as the work permit is a possibility.

“There are other players but the transfer window is nearly done and we’ll decide in five or six days. If not we stay with the players we have.”
