Following the purchase of Erling Haaland, Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has reminded Pep Guardiola’s side that they still have ambitions to upgrade the first-team roster.
The Sky Blues announced earlier this month that they had agreed to a £51 million deal to sign the sought-after attacker, whose meteoric progress as a player has continued at Borussia Dortmund over the last two years.
In January, City signed highly-rated striker Julian Alvarez, who is expected to reunite with his teammates after spending the second half of the 2012/13 season on loan at River Plate.
As Guardiola looks to ultimately replace Sergio Aguero, who moved for Barcelona last summer before having to retire prematurely due to a health concern, Haaland will be joined in the City team for next season by another summer recruit Julian Alvarez.
City are looking for more players, including a central midfielder and a new full-back.
Outgoings are intended to balance or govern incomings. Four regular first-team players have one year left on their contracts, while Gabriel Jesus has piqued Arsenal’s interest.
Needless to say, the bookmakers have taken notice, with Brighton defender Marc Cucurella and Leeds United talisman Kalvin Phillips presently being priced as odds-on to complete deals by SkyBet.
