May 1st According to The Athletic Manchester City team reporter Sam Lee, Manchester City is preparing to introduce four to five new players this summer to continue to make major adjustments to the roster. After signing two centre-backs, a midfielder and a forward in the winter window, Manchester City’s reinforcement goals are a goalkeeper, a defender and a creative midfielder.

At present, Manchester City is actively promoting the signing plan, further talks have been held with some preferred targets, and a detailed final plan has been formulated. Nottingham Forest attacker Gibbs White is a player Manchester City are trying to sign, and Manchester City has also developed a strong interest in Wiltz. Although £183 million has been spent in January, the club still has enough financial resources to make more signings.

Manchester City are looking for players who can have a significant impact on the game, but these players will not be paid as high as some of the high-paid players on the team. That is the treatment only a very small number of world-class players will receive, and this type of player is not Manchester City’s current goal. For example, Wiltz, as one of the hottest new stars in the world today, may require a higher salary, especially when he receives the attention of Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern, but this will definitely not get De Bruyne's weekly salary of 400,000 pounds.

Due to the registration restrictions for local players and Guardiola's desire to sign "reliable players", how to allocate local players and overseas players has become a question that needs to be carefully considered. Acker, Stones, and Gallish all need to be questioned because they have been plagued by injuries over the past few seasons. McCarthy may also leave the team, and clubs such as Leverkusen and Nottingham Forest are very interested in him. In addition, two central defenders Husanov and Reis introduced in January, one was 21 years old and the other just turned 19. Manchester City's lineup also needs some experienced players.
