In the recent fixtures, Manchester City has quietly regained its form, remaining unbeaten in five consecutive league matches and securing victories in three of them. This has significantly improved their position on the Premier League table, bringing them within striking distance of returning to the top four. Even compared to the league leaders, Guardiola's team is only 12 points behind. Considering Manchester City's "epic" performances in the second half of previous seasons, it is not impossible for them to make a strong comeback if their competitors falter. At the same time, in order to achieve their goal of a comeback, Manchester City has also shown remarkable efficiency in their transfer market acquisitions. Three signings have been finalized since the transfer window opened. Manchester City's transfer operations have demonstrated a "steady, accurate, and fierce" approach. They first secured the young central defender Kusano from Lorient, who stands at only 1.86 meters tall but possesses excellent defensive awareness and can play multiple positions including right-back and defensive midfield, significantly enhancing the depth of Manchester City's midfield and defense. This transfer has already been officially announced. Meanwhile, Manchester City quickly secured Vitor Roos from Palmeiras. The Brazilian U17 international has established himself as a key player this season and is considered one of the most promising players in world football. Subsequently, Manchester City also acquired Malmoosh, for which they paid a transfer fee of 80 million euros. This makes him the "top signing" of the transfer period so far. While most major clubs are still waiting to make moves, Manchester City's speed in…

On January 20th, Beijing time, Spanish radio station Cadena SER's famous journalist Edu Pidal exclusively reported that Carlo Ancelotti will resign at the end of this season. In the 20th round of La Liga, Real Madrid turned the standings to regain the top spot, widening the gap with second-placed Atletico Madrid by 2 points and third-placed Barcelona by 7 points. After a 4-1 victory over Palmeiras, the Italian veteran coach attended the press conference and jokingly said, "From criticism to praise, football changes so quickly. I'm still a bit confused. I've heard that we've been playing poorly recently, but now I see that Real Madrid is at the top, so I will continue to study where the problem lies." This sentence is not at all exaggerated; it is a true reflection of Real Madrid's season. From the combination of Bellingham, Vinicius, Mbappe, and Rodrygo at the beginning of the season; To the difficulty of integrating Mbappe; A wave of defensive injuries; Bale and Bellingham being overworked and experimented in other positions; Poor performance by Joaquin, etc., Real Madrid's public opinion has been in a trough. Coach Ancelotti is under great pressure. Problems such as the balance of the front three, lack of a central core in midfield, a wave of defensive injuries without reinforcements, and insufficient playing time for substitute youngsters like Juler and Endrick. Any one of these problems could blow up on him. For example, Bellingham and Bale, who are frequently restricted and dissatisfied with their positional shifts, can cause trouble if they make a fuss. Fortunately, both…

Recently, according to British media "Mirror" exposure, in order to completely get rid of the current dilemma and let Manchester City return to the normal track as soon as possible, the senior management of Manchester City decided to fully support Guardiola and launch a large-scale buying mode during the winter window. Fortunately, Manchester City has the strong financial backing of the Middle Eastern consortium, allowing them to do so. It is understood that Manchester City has prepared a huge transfer budget of up to 250 million pounds for this winter window, planning to sign six new powerful reinforcements. It can't help but make people sigh: money is arbitrary. Once Manchester City really signs six new strong reinforcements, the second half of the season will be quite worth looking forward to. The pattern of the Premier League title race may change dramatically. Previously, Manchester City's signing of Norwegian center forward Haaland for a 10-year long-term contract has caused an earthquake in European football. This 10-year new contract will bring Haaland a salary of up to 240 million pounds, which is enough to prove Manchester City's high regard and reliance on this front-line killer. Data shows that after joining Manchester City, Haaland quickly became the team's first major weapon in the frontcourt with his excellent physical quality and finishing ability in front of the goal. Keeping him means keeping the goal-scoring machine. In terms of player transfer operations, Manchester City's new director Viana worked closely with Begiristain and made significant progress on multiple fronts. They are actively promoting the signings of Egyptian…

Indeed, they have secured the deal! On January 15th, Beijing time, multiple media outlets confirmed that Arsenal has substantially completed the transfer of Zubimendi. Securing a summer transfer in the winter window, Arsenal is indeed ahead of the game. There will be significant changes in the midfield next summer. Jorginho and Thomas' contracts expire next summer, and it doesn't look like they will renew based on the current situation. The former has received offers from Brazilian clubs Flamengo and Palmeiras. They are thinking optimistically, hoping the player can terminate his contract with Arsenal and join for free. The management hopes Thomas will renew, but there is too much pressure off the field. Recently, there have been boos from fans during matches, and related reports have increased. Indeed, Saudi Arabia is waiting to sign him, with a guaranteed annual salary of at least 20 million after tax. It might be better to retire while still in the game and avoid the limelight of the "rape case." With Jorginho and Thomas leaving, signing Zubimendi is a step back and a step forward, immediately becoming a core player. He is certainly not as strong as Thomas, and this Spanish midfielder, whose style resembles Arteta's playing days, cannot break through high-pressure situations or clean up dirty balls like Thomas. In terms of suitability, Edson from Atalanta is the best fit. He is physically strong, aggressive, and proficient in pushing forward, protecting the ball, and dribbling. In the first half of the Champions League match, Edson looked faster than Thomas and could also dribble past…

Manchester City's First Winter Window Signing Content: On January 10th, Beijing time, Brazilian media UOL reported that Manchester City has agreed to a total price of 45 million euros to sign Res, and the deal has been completely finalized. The action is really fast. It took only 24 hours from the first media report chasing Res for Manchester City to finalize the deal. Fans who don't pay attention to young players will definitely be unfamiliar with Res. The 18-year-old currently plays for Palmeiras and is one of the best central defender prospects in Brazil's 2006 class. European giants have been paying attention for a long time. Last summer, Brighton made an official offer, and Liverpool also had contact. At that time, Palmeiras valued Res at 30.1 million euros, and the Seagulls were rejected because their offer did not reach this figure. Liverpool also had no further news as they were unwilling to gamble on an 18-year-old player. Yesterday, it was just revealed that Manchester City was pursuing Res, and they submitted their first offer of 40 million euros within 2 hours. After 24 hours of negotiation, both sides reached an agreement on a total price of 45 million euros, which also includes many additional clauses. The entire transaction process is smooth and powerful. There are no problems with the price, but there are still differences in when to release the player.

On the morning of January 10th, Manchester City had a fruitful night. According to reports from several well-known journalists, Manchester City has basically completed the transfers of three new players: Marmoush for 80 million euros, Kusano for 50 million euros, and Reis for 40 million euros. It is expected that Manchester City will announce these three transfers soon. In the first half of the season, Manchester City's performance was extremely poor, leaving fans puzzled. In the past eight years, Manchester City has won the Premier League six times, including four consecutive titles in recent seasons. However, since November, Manchester City has experienced a cliff-like decline and is currently ranked sixth in the Premier League. Although Guardiola admitted that Manchester City has withdrawn from the title race this season, he will not completely give up on the competition. After the winter transfer window opened, the coach immediately asked Manchester City to quickly buy players and targeted three major goals. As of January 10th, Manchester City has efficiently almost completed these three transactions. Firstly, Manchester City reached an agreement with the talented forward Marmoush today, and the player is eager to join the Blues. Eintracht Frankfurt hopes to receive a transfer fee of 80 million euros, and the latest news from journalists indicates that the wealthy Manchester City has decided to match Frankfurt's asking price. This season, Marmoush has been in excellent form, scoring 18 goals and providing 12 assists in 24 appearances, contributing a total of 30 goals. His arrival can make Manchester City's attacking methods more diverse, especially when Haaland…
