Manchester City had a quiet transfer deadline day, with only two new players joining the first-team squad and minimal departures. Despite the lack of excitement, City’s actions in the transfer window showed their confidence in the current squad’s hunger for success. Manager Pep Guardiola, now in his ninth season at the club, faced new challenges in keeping the team motivated and revolutionizing the playing style, but has managed to do so successfully. The arrival of Erling Haaland and the departure of key players like Raheem Sterling and Fernandinho have not disrupted City’s dominance in the Premier League.
One area of concern for City is the lack of a backup striker option, with only Haaland as the main forward. Guardiola has admitted that not signing another striker could be a mistake, as injuries or fatigue could leave them short up front.

City’s efficiency in making money in the transfer market and fending off interest in their top stars demonstrate their financial strength and stability for future success.
