200 Million Pounds and Major Deals After the Guardiola Era

Manchester City is preparing to enter a completely new phase following the end of Pep Guardiola's era, amidst extensive moves to reshape the team during the upcoming summer transfer window, in a project that seems to be the boldest in years at the 'Etihad' stadium.

According to what was revealed by 'i Paper', Manchester City's management has allocated a massive budget estimated at about 200 million pounds to strengthen the team after the departure of the Spanish coach, with a focus on injecting new blood in preparation for the upcoming phase.

Elliott Anderson, midfielder of Nottingham Forest and the England national team, tops the priorities of the English club, with negotiations reaching advanced stages, as the management is convinced of his ability to play an important role in the midfield in the coming years.

City's interest does not stop at Anderson alone, as the club continues to monitor a number of emerging talents in the Premier League, including Michael Kayode from Brentford, as well as young Bournemouth striker Eli Junior Kroupi, as part of a plan aimed at building a younger and more dynamic team.

Meanwhile, Manchester City is preparing to bid farewell to a group of prominent names, after it was confirmed that Portuguese Bernardo Silva and defender John Stones will leave in free transfer deals, thus ending a long journey for the duo within the sky-blue team.

Doubts also hover over the future of more than one star within the squad, amid reports of Real Madrid's interest in signing Spaniard Rodri and Croatian Josko Gvardiol in the upcoming period.

Among the names expected to leave as well is midfielder Nico Gonzalez, who is close to departing after being excluded from the team's plans recently, despite scoring the winning goal in the FA Cup semi-final against Southampton, as he was subsequently excluded from City's squad in three consecutive matches.

Meanwhile, Brazilian winger Savinho has also become available for sale, after Manchester City's management set his release value at about 50 million euros, amid interest from a number of European clubs in acquiring his services.
