The Premier League will return in 4 more weeks. Having just signed two signings, Nathan Ake and Ferran Torres, Man City will continue to participate in the "war" on the transfer table that is taking place very unpredictably.
The defense needs to be strengthened, after Man City's expensive stars let Lyon's spearheads score in easy situations. The final blocker is still goalkeeper Ederson Moraes but the upper quartet will have a big change.
In addition to the three former names that are likely to be retained: Kyle Walker (right-back), Aymeric Laporte (center-back) and Joao Cancelo (left-back), Man City urgently need a classy centre-back.
Taking Virgil Van Dijk from Liverpoolpooll was impossible, they moved their target to kalidou Koulibaly of Napoli. The Senegalese center back with the nickname "monster" is highly appreciated for his outstanding physique, strength, speed and thinking...
The upper midfield trio, if they follow their current form, Pep will trust Rodri (defensive midfielder) after the attacking duo of Kevin De Bruyne (left) and Phil Foden (right).
In addition to quality reserve players such as Fernandinho and Ferran Torres, The Citizens could make a breakthrough for Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid.
Felix arrived at Atletico right at the time when the club were in decline, so he could not prove his worth of £126 million after moving from Benfica. If he successfully moves to Man City, it could be a "dragon" step for this young midfielder.
The attack from next season will have less contributions from Sergio Aguero due to age. He will be replaced by Gabriel Jesus in the spearhead position, playing alongside Riyad Mahrez (right wing) and Raheem Sterling (left wing). High-quality reserves still have Bernado Silva. In general, Man City's attack is still very strong.
But that means with the above options, many names may have to go away such as Ilkay Gundogan or Nicolas Otamendi.
The elimination of big teams like Man City is very harsh, those who are likely to leave the team earlier are John Stones or Eric Garcia.
Pep Guardiola's squad in the teams he leads does not have to be edited much because they all follow the same philosophy. However, when the machine has some problems, the Guardiola workers need to make some adjustments to make things more complete, avoiding the situation where a few small errors can lose the whole season.
