Manchester City plans major squad overhaul: Guardiola's top transfer targets revealed

Manchester City is gearing up for a significant squad overhaul in the upcoming January transfer window. According to reports, the club is targeting several high-profile players to strengthen its roster.

Details. As reported by The Telegraph, City is looking to make between four and six signings over the next two windows, addressing weaknesses in defense, midfield, and attack. Among the potential midfield reinforcements are Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad, Ederson from Atalanta, Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace, and Bruno Guimarães from Newcastle.

City is also eyeing Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz, who is expected to be one of the most sought-after talents in the coming year. Additional targets include Eberechi Eze and Matheus Cunha, while a surprising name on the list is former academy player Liam Delap, currently thriving at Ipswich Town.

In defense, the club has identified three key targets: Everton's center-back Jarrad Branthwaite, Crystal Palace's Marc Guéhi, and Bayern Munich’s left-back Alphonso Davies.

Reminder. Manchester City is currently facing a challenging period under Pep Guardiola. After a string of poor performances, the reigning Premier League champions sit fourth in the table, trailing league leaders Liverpool by eight points.
