Manchester City has only made one signing during the summer transfer window so far, with Savinho joining from Troyes for a fee potentially rising to £33.6 million. Despite this addition, there is still a feeling among fans that the club needs reinforcements in other areas, specifically in the defensive midfield position, which manager Pep Guardiola has openly admitted. However, Guardiola has stated that as of now, there are no plans for any more signings unless players are sold towards the end of the transfer window.
Guardiola expressed his desire for goalkeeper Ederson to remain with the club, highlighting his importance to the team’s success. There have been rumors of Ederson potentially moving to Saudi Arabia, but Manchester City values him at around £50 million, which has deterred potential suitors. Guardiola has left the door slightly open to new arrivals at the end of the transfer window if players are sold, but for now, the club is satisfied with the squad they have and are focused on retaining key players like Ederson. The manager emphasized the difficulty of replacing someone like Ederson and the impact he has on the team both on and off the pitch.
