Manchester City is preparing to shake up the summer transfer market in Europe as they aim to sign three more players after completing the addition of Elliot Anderson. The 3 requests from Enzo Maresca.

The Italian coach has formally requested the technical secretariat to recruit three additional world-class players with a total investment of 250 million euros.

The need to expand the squad significantly compared to Pep Guardiola's previous setup is part of an internal restructuring plan that involves approximately ten official departures in the upcoming summer weeks. According to confidential reports from The Athletic, the Pontecagnano Faiano coach deems it essential to strengthen three critical positions to ensure competitiveness in the Premier League. The English club has already initiated initial phone contacts to expedite the contractual paperwork for their top three priorities.

The commercial viability of this triple pursuit will require meticulous financial engineering in British boardrooms to both enhance immediate competitiveness and secure the long-term presence of current key players. Simultaneously, the Manchester club's board has decided to secure the continuity of three main stars on the field, ensuring the stability of players like Josko Gvardiol, Phil Foden, and the dynamic Belgian winger Jérémy Doku.

Manchester City's Three Priorities as Requested by Enzo Maresca

The primary area that needs reinforcement in the tactical plans defined by Enzo Maresca is the right-back position, where the Italian coach is keen on recruiting the Chelsea defender Malo Gusto. Manchester City values the physical prowess of the French full-back and is willing to present a proposal of 70 million euros to Chelsea. However, anticipating resistance from the Blues' board, City has a more economical alternative in the 20-year-old Dutch player from Feyenoord, Givairo Read, who has been gaining momentum in internal evaluations.

In midfield, the top target hails from Ligue 1 in France, with the talented Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi identified as the ideal profile for central midfield rotation. Manchester is preparing an 80 million euros offer for the 18-year-old Franco-Moroccan midfielder, a move hastened by Sandro Tonali's confirmed departure to Tottenham. The decision-makers acknowledge the need for swift action due to interest from other European giants.

Yan Diomande, Manchester City's Premier Offensive Target

The intense focus of the English champion's technical staff lies in the attacking department, with Ivorian winger Yan Diomande being the coveted player to strengthen the flanks. Manchester City is fully committed to make a fixed offer of 120 million euros for the Xolos winger, aiming to disrupt the verbal agreement previously reached with Paris Saint-Germain.

The Manchester board trusts in the financial might of the English league and the competitive platform offered by the new manager's style to persuade the African forward. The upcoming weeks of July will determine whether City's emissaries can secure a revamped and formidable attack.

Direct communications between the clubs' administrations will intensify in the following days before the commencement of the summer tour preparations. The strategy from the boardroom is set, sparing no financial resource at Manchester City to fulfill Enzo Maresca's tactical demands and ensuring the signings of the three stars to establish a new era of success in European football.
