Manchester City is in crisis following a difficult first half of the season. Several players are now on Pep Guardiola’s radar as potential reinforcements.
Historically, Manchester City doesn’t make big moves in the winter transfer window, but this year, things are set to change. With results not going their way and the team struggling, Pep is calling for help. Six players have been identified by the Spanish coach to replace the injured Rodri.
Manchester City is targeting several players to strengthen the team in January, including:
Dani Olmo (FC Barcelona): The Spanish winger, struggling due to competition restrictions, could be a potential target, although he is contracted until 2030.
Ederson (Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio): The 25-year-old Brazilian midfielder has been impressive in Serie A and could replace Rodri, but his departure seems unlikely.
Douglas Luiz (Juventus Turin): With limited playing time this season, he could be loaned to Manchester City despite his recent €51.5 million transfer.
Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace): The 20-year-old midfielder, who has been sidelined due to an injury since October, appears to be an unlikely option due to his physical condition.
Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace): The English winger has been impressive this season, but Crystal Palace has no intention of selling him despite City’s interest.
Anthony Gordon (Newcastle United): The talented winger has been performing well and could potentially join City, but Newcastle is likely to keep him.
