£ 77 m winger and new rb the two signs

Manchester City I had a catastrophic campaign 2024/25. PEP Guardiola The side has become a trophy, finishing third in Premier league And lose the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace. It was far from the domination they showed under the legendary Spanish director in recent years.

Naturally, it has already been a busy summer transfer window for the East Mancunian outfit. Citizens have plunged on the market four times to strengthen themselves in all fields of the field and improve their fortune before the next mandate.

Indeed, The objective noted the prices For three of their four signatures so far, Marcus Bettinelli joining Chelsea for unknown costs. Rayan Cherki cost 34 million pounds sterling in Lyon, Tijani Reijnders was 46 million pounds Sterling from AC Milan and Rayan Ait-Nouri joined Wolverhampton Wanderers for 31 million pounds sterling.

These four are options for the Guardiola team in the first three games of the Premier League season. They start with a trip to the old Ait-Nouri hunting field in Molinine, before welcoming Tottenham Hotspur and going to Brighton and Hove Albion for the last August match.

But, what could the rest of the city side before their first match of the season against the wolves could look like? Well, here is an overview of what Their dream squad could look like In 2025/26 if everything goes as planned.

Goalkeepers

Ederson remains as number 1 in the city

City has already signed in the goalkeeper department, Bettinelli joining the giants of western London Chelsea. He joined Ederson and Stefan Ortega as shooting options for Guardiola next season.

Brazil International Ederson was the first choice last season, and conceded 26 goals In as many Premier League matches, keeping ten clean leaves along the way. He sometimes fought with injuries and was sidelined for eight games in total.

One of the real advantages of Ederson is his capacity with the ball at his feet. This may be better presented by the fact that he helped four goals, including this sublime ball to Erling Haaland against Chelsea, who was well finished by the attacker.

As for Ortega, the 32 -year -old Played 13 Premier League gamesBut conceded 18 goals at that time. In the Champions League, he kept a white sheet in the two appearances the last mandate. It is certainly an excellent number two for Guardiola at his disposal.

Full list of goalkeepers – Ederson, Stefan Ortega, Marcus Bettinelli.

Defenders

New rear-back options for PEP on both sides

If there is an area of the land that the city certainly does not lack options, it is in defense. They have incredible versatility, Josko Gvardiol being the best example. He mainly played as a left back last season and collected six goals in all competitions, ash by transfer market. In reality, he is more naturally a central defender.

It is one of the three main options on the left rear for City, Ait-Nouri also offering an excellent attack. He contributed four goals and seven assists For the old gold last season. Nico O’Reilly is a less experienced option, but he also excelled last season. Naturally, a number 10, he managed five goals and two assists in all competitions.

On the right flank, City was recently linked to Denzel Dumfries by a Spanish point of sale. He would have a liberation clause of 21.5 million pounds sterling, City currently deciding to “try your luck” on the Dutch. His contributions in the semi-final of the Champions League last season on both legs, were memorable.

With Kyle Walker now officially a Burnley player, Matheus Nunes and Rico Lewis are the only other club’s right backs. The two like to reverse in midfield, which is not surprising for nulls, since it is, by trade, a midfielder.

At the central defender, City has not made any new inclusion from the January window, where they signed Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis.

Ruben Dias played 44 times last season and Manuel Akajani 40, suggesting that they are the first choice options for Guardiola. However, he still has the experience of John Stones and Nathan Ake to appeal.

The midfielder

Rodri’s return and KDB replacement

The huge news in the center of the Park for City recently is that Rodri is back from his long -term injury. The current Golden Ball Holder is missing several months of the season, making only eight appearances. His involvement, or his absence, was noticeable in the city’s hot countryside.

The new addition of City in the midfield this summer is Reijnders, which presented three times in the Club World Cup, with Nico Gonzalez, an addition of January, also an option for the East Mancunians. He was nicknamed a “mini rodri” earlier in the season by his manager.

There is also a lot of experience in the middle of the midfielder. Captain Ilkay Gundogan, winner of a triple, remains at the club this summer. He played 54 times in 2024/25, two more than the new captain of the Bernardo Silva club.

City also has Mateo Kovacic to appeal, who played a huge role last season in the absence of Rodri. Kalvin Phillips is still at the club, but after spending the last and a half seasons on loan, it does not seem likely that he will remain.

In place number 10, this is where things become interesting for the city. Kevin de Bruyne has now, of course, left the club, joining Napoli, which means that someone has to intervene in his absence, not at all easy to do.

It may be Phil Foden. The English international was not at his best this season, contributing to 13 goals and seven assists in 49 appearances. However, there is no doubt about its quality. He is a former PFA year player we are talking about. He could be Guy City seeks to intervene in the absence of Bruyne this season.

Alternatively, City had been linked to Morgan Gibbs-White. The initiate of football claimed The player “agreed personal conditions” before a possible move but he is now On the way of the spurs instead

The 25 -year -old was sensational for the forest last season, marking seven times and entering ten assists In just 34 championship games. This included a superb effort to leaders against Leicester City.

With Gibbs-White apparently out of the table, Foden is not the only option that Guarola has in role number 10. Young people Oscar Bobb and Claudio Echeverri, who made his debut in the FA Cup final, also attacks the fields he could call. The future of James McATEE, which has marked seven times last season, is in the air.

Complete list of central fields – Rodri, Tijani Reijnders, Nico Gonzalez, Bernardo Silva, Ilkay Gundogan, Mateo Kovacic.

Complete list of attackers – Phil Fob, Oscar Bobb, Claudio Echeverri, James McA.

Attackers

Versatility and a new look before 3

One of the best things about this city team is the versatility they own, and which is personified throughout the attack. The new number, Erling Haaland, is the player who can only play in one role. Of course, when you have someone of their quality in advance, it is not a problem. He scored 34 goals in 48 games last season.

Omar Marmoush, however, is an incredibly versatile player. Another signature of January, the Egyptian striker can play on a flank, as a central center or second striker. He played 25 games for citizens in 2024/25, marking eight times and helping three.

On the right side, city fans can surely be excited at the idea of looking at Rayan Cherki. The 21 -year -old Frenchman is an electric attacker who can play like a number 10 or on the right wing. Last season for City and Lyon, he contributed to 13 goals and 21 assists in 48 games.

Just look at her Underlying numbers on fbref of the last 365 days. It has an average of 8.88 gradual assists and 6.8 shooting actions per match. These two figures place him in the upper 1% of field environments and attackers.

Brazilian Savinho is another option on the right side for Guardiola. He managed to score three goals and recorded 13 assists in all competitions, and can also play on the left side if necessary.

Speaking of the opposite flank, the star of Real Madrid Rodrygo, described as a “future icon” by the football talent Jacek Kuligcould be on the way to the Etihad stadium. TBR football has recently confirmed That Brazilian representatives “have now had discussions” with City during a move.

It wouldn’t be cheap, with a Spanish point of sale suggesting Los Blancos would like more than 77 million pounds sterling for their winger. In 2024/25, He scored 14 goals and helped 11Including six goals in the Champions League, providing his count for competition up to 25.

Jeremy Doku is another option for City on the left. A brilliant One-VS-One winger, he contributed to 17 goals last season and adds a unique element to the attack by Guardiola. Jack Grenish would also be someone who can stop on the left side, but he fell in disgrace to City and seems ready to leave the club.

Full list of attackers – Erling Haaland, Omar Marmoush.
