WATCH: Pep Guardiola flaunts his Basketball skills during pre-season

Pep Guardiola is enjoying the pre-season tour to the United States of America as he was seen . A video of him having a jolly time was posted on social media by Manchester City. The former FC Barcelona manager took three shots from a distance and all three of his tries went inside the net. 

The club posted with the caption, “Learnt a thing or two from Joe Mazzulla 🏀🗑️😅”. Joe Mazzula is the head coach of the Boston Celtics and maintains a good relationship with the Manchester City manager. 

In addition to watching the game from the front row earlier this month, Guardiola—who was wearing a black and green Celtics jersey—was also spotted conversing with Mazzulla when they were playing at TD Garden. This visit was a return of the favor that Mazzulla had given when he visited Manchester (UK) in February to have a better look at the club that had won the Premier League the previous four years.

Pep Guardiola comments on the future of Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson

Ederson "may have other options" to leave the team during this transfer window, according to Pep Guardiola. Guardiola stated that his Brazilian goalie would very possibly leave the team during the summer after seven seasons of sustained success, following a 4-3 friendly loss to Celtic in the preseason. In the opening match of their US tour, Ederson started in the second half of Manchester City's loss, giving away two goals.

Ederson, who has two years left on his Manchester City deal, is interested in signing with two Saudi Arabian teams. Al Ittihad is the most recent. Al Ittihad is expected to submit a bid soon, even though they haven't filed anything official yet. 

The former Bayern Munich manager said that, "I don't know - he has to see maybe now other options. Of course I'd like him to stay. Depends now the clubs. I don't know the situation, no contact in the last days. A question of training and being with us until the transfer window finishes and we see what happens.”
