Manchester City is planning to make 6 signings!

In a deep slump, Manchester City are planning to turn to the transfer market for new signings.

In January, the Skyblues will give priority to signing a new midfielder, but their plan is to recruit a total of six players in the next few transfer windows.

Last Wednesday, Manchester City suffered a 2-0 defeat to Juventus in the Champions League, highlighting what is arguably the worst stretch in their recent history.

The Skyblues have secured only one victory (in the Premier League against Nottingham Forest) in their last nine competitive matches.

To address this situation before it escalates and leads to more serious repercussions, the board intends to seek out players who can rejuvenate a squad where key figures like Ederson, Kyle Walker, Kevin De Bruyne, İlkay Gündoğan, Bernardo Silva, Mateo Kovacic, and John Stones appear to be entering a decline.

Manchester City Key Targets for January

As reported by The Times, the Citizens will prioritize signing a midfielder in January to alleviate the impact of Rodri Hernández’s injury.

The main candidates include German Florian Wirtz (21, Bayer Leverkusen), Basque Martin Zubimendi (25, Real Sociedad), and Brazilian Bruno Guimarães (27, Newcastle).

The Telegraph adds that City has a broader plan, aiming to sign six players over the next few transfer windows.

The publication reiterates Zubimendi’s name and includes other midfielders like Ederson (25, Atalanta) and Adam Wharton (20, Crystal Palace) in their targets.

Additionally, they have pinpointed a couple of defenders, Englishmen Jarrad Braithwaite (22, Everton) and Marc Guehi (24, Crystal Palace), as potential signings.

This bold recruitment initiative clearly shows that Manchester City is making significant efforts to tackle their ongoing challenges.

The board’s resolve to bring in new talent underscores their dedication to regaining their status at the pinnacle of both English and European football.

With the transfer windows on the horizon, it will be essential for City to effectively negotiate and finalize these crucial signings to revitalize their squad and compete at the highest levels once more.
