During the current summer transfer window, Manchester City have welcomed Savinho from Troyes but have bid farewell to several players including Sergio Gomez, Liam Delap, Tommy Doyle, and Taylor Harwood-Bellis on permanent deals. With reports indicating that Atletico Madrid are set to sign Julian Alvarez for €95m, pundit Don Hutchison believes Pep Guardiola will be looking to sign a striker to replace the Argentine forward. Guardiola has emphasized the importance of game time and minutes played, hinting at the need for a new number nine in the squad to maintain depth and competition in attacking positions.
Considering Alvarez’s impressive performance last season with 19 goals and 13 assists in 54 appearances, it may be a challenge for City to find a suitable replacement with similar versatility and attacking prowess. Guardiola’s recent statement about only bringing in a new player if a current figure departs suggests that City will have a big decision to make in the remaining weeks of the transfer window, especially with Erling Haaland being the only prominent striker in the squad alongside Alvarez. The club’s pursuit of a new forward could significantly impact their strategy for the upcoming season as they aim to maintain competitiveness in all competitions.
