After selling Alvarez for a significant fee, Manchester City, the reigning Premier League champions, are looking to sign 1-2 players before the window closes to cope with the busy schedule of the new season. Their primary targets are looking for backups for Haaland and Rodri.
While Man City signed Savio early in the window, they have been quiet since. After selling Alvarez, the club now has significant funds at their disposal. Despite being satisfied with their current squad, Man City wants to add to Guardiola’s squad by signing two players.
Man City most desperately need a midfielder to share the burden on Rodri. With over 60 games to play next season, it is inevitable that Rodri will not be able to play the entire season at such a high intensity.
Furthermore, with the departure of Alvarez, Man City now lacks a backup for Haaland. This is another role that Man City urgently need to fill. However, such a supporting role is rare in the transfer market. A player needs to be both talented and willing to sit on the bench for long periods, which is not a role most players accept.
Man City have already completed their pre-season schedule and won the Community Shield against Manchester United. These matches have allowed Guardiola to identify areas for improvement in his team, prompting him to look for reinforcements in the transfer market.
