The sporting crisis at Manchester City worsens after going six games without a win in all competitions. The draw against Feyenoord in the UEFA Champions League, where the citizens squandered a 3-0 lead, has raised alarms at the club.
In light of this situation, Pep Guardiola's team is planning an aggressive move in the upcoming winter transfer window, focusing on three high-profile signings: Martín Zubimendi, Maximiliano Araujo, and Florian Wirtz.
Pep Guardiola Requests Signings
-Martín Zubimendi: The top priority is to strengthen the midfield following Rodri's serious injury, ruling him out for the rest of the season. In this regard, Zubimendi, a key player for Real Sociedad, has been identified as the ideal replacement due to his ability to balance the game and recover balls. Although the San Sebastián team is reluctant to part ways with the player, City is prepared to make a significant offer to seal the deal.
-Maximiliano Araujo: On another front, offensive wings are also an area of concern. Maximiliano Araujo, currently at Sporting CP, fits perfectly into City's plans thanks to his versatility to play as a winger on both sides. The young Uruguayan has emerged as one of the most promising talents in European football, attracting interest from several clubs, but Manchester aims to get ahead of the competition.
-Florian Wirtz: Lastly, City's major coup would be the addition of Florian Wirtz, an attacking midfielder from Bayer Leverkusen and one of the gems of German football. At just 20 years old, Wirtz is on the radar of Europe's top clubs, but his steep price tag, estimated at 120 million euros, could pose a challenge. Nevertheless, City's board seems willing to go all out to turn the tide.
