Manchester City, under the leadership of Pep Guardiola, are preparing an offensive in the summer transfer market and have their sights set on three outstanding LaLiga players: Alejandro Balde, Martín Zubimendi and Takefusa Kubo.
With these three new additions, Manchester City not only aims to maintain its status as one of the best teams in the world, but also strengthen its squad for the challenges of next season. Guardiola, known for his ability to develop young talent, appears to be carefully planning the strategy to secure these key summer signings.
The signings Guardiola has demanded from Manchester City
-Alejandro Balde: Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde is high on the wish list for his speed and technical quality, traits that fit Guardiola’s vision of the game perfectly. Barcelona’s complicated financial situation could make it easier for the English team to acquire the young Spaniard.
-Martín Zubimendi: Another name on City’s agenda is Real Sociedad midfielder Martín Zubimendi. Guardiola is looking for a versatile player who can rotate with Rodri in midfield and provide rest to the key player in that position. Zubimendi, with a €60 million release clause, is proving to be an attractive option to strengthen Manchester City’s midfield.
-Takefusa Kubo: The third target on the list is Takefusa Kubo, the talented Japanese winger who is currently shining for Real Sociedad. Guardiola sees Kubo as the ideal profile to occupy the right wing and add imbalance and creativity to the attack. With an exit clause also worth €60 million, Kubo represents a significant but promising investment for City’s project.
