On May 30, Khaldon al-Mubarak, the Manchester City boss made strong announcements during an interview with the official Skyblues website. “We are starting to work and prepare for next season. (…) We have clearly identified who are the targets, at what positions, and we clearly have our first option, our second option. And we are going to focus on our work, and it will be very clear, very fast. Our goal is to be ready with the new team for the Club World Cup. ” And he kept his word since his club has invested massively to offer reinforcements to Pep Guardiola.
Young people will go on loan
Rayan Aït-Nouri (€ 50 million), Rayan Cherki (€ 42.5 million, bonus included), Tijjani Reijnders (€ 55 million) and Marcus Bettinelli (free) have arrived. The young Sverre Nypan (Rosenborg) will be the next one to sign. The Norwegian environment will be purchased 15 M €. He could be loaned to Rosenborg in stride or in another club which will allow him to continue his progress ensures the Manchester Evening News. The English publication also explains that he is not the only one in this case since Claudio Echeverri is also likely to be loaned. Argentinian, who arrived last winter, is present in the group participating in the Club World Cup.
Manchester City plans to lend it. His name was also cited at OL, who must recover a Cityzens player thanks to Operation Rayan Cherki. Like him, defenders Vitor Reis and Jumah Bah, recruited last January, will be loaned. The first did not have a lot of playing time to put under the tooth under the orders of Pep Guardiola. The latter believes that he is not yet ready to continue with his team. Jumah Bah was able to garner playing time in Lens, where he spent six months on loan. Several clubs, including Girona, are willing to welcome it in the form of a loan this summer.
Confirmed players on departure
In addition to these young elements, the Mancunians must also manage the cases of more confirmed players. At the top of the list, we find Jack Grenish. The Englishman, who was dismissed from the list for the World Cup, is pushed towards the exit. Last night, Pep Guardiola was more than clear on the subject. “Jack is an exceptional player and he has to play. These last two seasons, he has not played much and he must find playing time, the excitement of playing every three days and showing all his qualities again. ” Several clubs are ready to offer him this possibility.
Naples, Aston Villa, Everton, Newcastle, Tottenham and Bayer Leverkusen are interested. But the player's salary could be a brake. A loan could therefore be envisaged, even if City favors a sale. Like him, Kyle Walker, quoted in Everton, and Kalvin Phillips are asked to go and see elsewhere. John Stones and Ilkay Gündogan, who is courted by Galatasaray, are in uncertainty. At the end of the contract in a year, they arrive at a turning point in City, where their cases ask questions within the management according to Espn. In the same contractual situation, Ederson, Stefan Ortega and Bernardo Silva will be there this season. A season which starts with a revolution in City, where 9 players are therefore potentially on departure.
