Man City are keen to strengthen their squad more in this transfer window. They want to continue winning trophies. They have been great in recent years. Guardiola will aim to win it all once more with them. The Blue side of Manchester have enjoyed a lot of success. And that too, mostly in recent years. They won the Premier League 6 times out of 7. Also, they managed to win the UCL 2023. Even then, they won the treble. They would become only the 2nd English side to achieve this feat. Archrivals Man Utd did it first.
Pep’s side had a mixed season. They won the league yet again. Also, they became the first team to win it 4 years in a row. But, Arsenal were very close to beating them. Pep’s team would win the title on the last day. UCL was a little disappointing. Real Madrid beat them at the Etihad on penalties. And, Newcastle would knock them out in the EFL Cup. To make things worse, they lost to Man Utd in FA Cup final. But, they are hoping to get back to their best this season. Man City eye this transfer window to bolster their lineup. They are keen to make solid moves in the market.
