Manchester City will begin their 2024/25 season against Chelsea in pursuit of a fifth consecutive title, possibly in Pep Guardiola’s final season as manager. The team has made a quiet transfer window, with Julian Alvarez’s £82 million departure to Atletico Madrid sparking questions from pundits like Glenn Murray and Robbie Mustoe. Alvarez’s versatility and contributions as a reliable goal scorer could leave a gap in City’s squad that will need to be filled, especially with injuries affecting other players like Oscar Bobb. City will need to sign a forward who can complement their star players while maintaining quality.

While Alvarez’s departure may be felt by City, it does not have to be a significant loss if they can adequately replace him. The team’s success may hinge on their ability to bring in a player who can provide goals and assists while accepting a secondary role behind key players like Haaland, De Bruyne, and Foden. With the transfer window closing soon, City will need to act swiftly to bolster their squad and maintain their competitive edge in the Premier League.
