City not yet ready on the transfer market after the arrival of Haaland: ‘More players are coming’ NOW

Manchester City continues to stir in the transfer market after the arrival of Erling Haaland. The English champion still has enough transfer budget to strengthen himself, chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said on Monday. club site

Manchester City paid 75 million euros to take over Haaland from Borussia Dortmund. In addition, Julián Álvarez will be part of the selection of manager Josep Guardiola next season. The attacker was bought from River Plate in January for 17 million euros and then leased back to the Argentine top club.

According to Al Mubarak, it does not stop there. “I can confirm that we will sign more players this summer,” he says, without going into names. “We want to strengthen our squad in positions where it is needed. Players leave every season and we are constantly looking for ways to refresh the team.”

“We want to improve and strengthen ourselves,” continues Al Mubarak. “I think we’ve already made two important reinforcements, but I expect more players to come. We’re trying to do that as soon as possible, but you know how the market is. You don’t have full control over it.”

In any case, Manchester City must look for a replacement for Fernandinho. The 37-year-old midfielder announced his departure last month and appears to be on his way to a club in his native Brazil. According to British media, ‘The Citizens’ are also looking for a left-back.

Since the takeover by the Abu Dhabi United Group of Al Mubarak in 2008, Manchester City has been trying unsuccessfully to win the Champions League. The club reached the final for the first time last year, but lost to Chelsea (0-1). City have won the league title six times in the past fourteen years, including last week after a blistering title battle with Liverpool.
