As a top Premier League team, Manchester City has indeed experienced a significant decline in performance this season. For a period of time, they have encountered consecutive failures in both the Champions League and the league. Manchester City's current plan is to persist until the winter transfer window, then complete a wave of signings and reinforcements, and continue to challenge for the league title in the second half of the season.
And it's no wonder that Manchester City is considered a top-rich club; their signing targets have also been exposed this time. The medical examination for new central defender Kusano has been scheduled, and this deal is completely done. The second is forward Malmush, with whom Manchester City is about to reach an agreement on a contract. The third is the signing agreement for central defender Vitor Res, and both sides have reached a preliminary intention for the transfer.
Among them, Malmush's transfer fee is the most expensive, reaching a staggering 80 million euros, and Frankfurt has agreed to release him during the winter window. Therefore, the requirements in terms of fees are quite strict. Manchester City now also has a strong desire to strengthen their midfield position. They hope to sign a young midfield prodigy, and this player is likely to be Wirtz, the Bundesliga MVP who plays for Bayer Leverkusen.
However, this signing will need to wait until the summer window to continue operating. Manchester City's operations in the winter window alone will reach a staggering 160 million euros. Coach Guardiola is also satisfied with the team's reinforcement efforts. The Premier League title race this season is actually quite fierce. Although Manchester City is currently in a slump, it does not mean that they have no chance in the second half of the season. Therefore, they still have a good chance of making a comeback in the second half of the season.
