The 'calm' before the 'storm'. That's how Manchester City's last transfer window could be defined. For the first time in many years, the 'skyblue' club did not make any major investments during the summer, since Pep Guardiola considers his squad to be very complete. The only additions made at the Etihad Stadium were those of Savinho and Ilkay Gündogan, who served to compensate for the losses of Julián Álvarez, who headed to Atlético de Madrid, and Oscar Bobb, who suffered a serious injury that will keep him out for several months.
However, everything indicates that the scenario will not be similar in the summer window of 2025. Apart from the continuity of the Sampedor player, whose contract expires at the end of the campaign and there is still no news about his renewal, the Mancunians are already thinking about next year's planning. In that sense, and after 'only' paying 25 million euros to Troyes for the Brazilian winger, the 'ctizens' would have planned a budget of 300 'kilos' to 'break' the market for the next season, and would already have their two main objectives in their sights.
Double 'assault' on the Bundesliga
Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala would be Guardiola's two great dreams to reinforce his team, as reported by Alex Crook in 'TalkSPORT'. Kevin De Bruyne's future is increasingly far from England, since his contract expires on June 30 and offers are already starting to arrive from Saudi Arabia, so the 'skyblues' are beginning to think about his possible replacement and the German from Bayern Munich is Pep's favorite.
"There is an idea in Manchester City to try to sign him as Kevin De Bruyne's successor," said the journalist from 'BILD', Christian Falk, specialist in information on the Bavarian team. At 21, Musiala has established himself as one of the great talents of today, being one of the great 'jewels' of the present, and above all, of the future. At the Allianz Arena he is considered one of the great stars of the team, and his qualities are very much to the liking of the City coach, who sees the Stuttgart native as the ideal replacement for the Belgian.
However, the Mancunians would not want Jamal to arrive alone in the Premier League, so they would look to pair him with his teammate, Wirtz, at the Etihad Stadium. The duo of 'cracks' is nicknamed 'Wusiala' in 'Die Mannschaft', where they have shown that they get along perfectly on and off the pitch. For this reason, the 'skyblues' would be willing to go all out to get his services, a scenario that would harm FC Barcelona and Real Madrid.
A blow to the planning of Barça and Madrid
The two Spanish giants are also on the trail of both German stars. Joan Laporta dreams of seeing Musiala wearing the Barça shirt, as he believes that he could complete a 'luxury' attack alongside Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo and company. Meanwhile, Florentino Pérez believes that Wirtz, despite playing further up the field, would be the ideal replacement for Kroos in midfield, and would intend to bring him to the Bernabéu during the next transfer window. However, the 'irruption' of City would 'disrupt' the plans of both clubs, which could be affected by the economic power of the English.
