Manchester City are hoping to complete a Premier League and FA Cup double over the coming weeks before attention turns to the summer transfer window.
City’s success in the Premier League makes them one of the most attractive clubs in the world for players looking for transfers. The summer window is quickly approaching and the Citizens will soon be able to roll up their sleeves and get stuck into business.
The reigning Premier League champions have been linked with some exciting targets ahead of the summer. As the rumours continue to swirl, we have put together a predicted starting XI for the 2024/25 season, taking into account City’s current players and their interest in new recruits.
Take a look below at how Guardiola could line up if the rumours come to fruition. The values included are from their transfer fee, reported price tag, and current Transfermarkt value.
1. RB: Kyle Walker
Signed from Spurs in 2017 for £45 million and is close to notching his 300th appearance for City
2. CB: Rúben Dias
Worth an impressive £69 million, he has missed just five league games this season
3. CB: Manuel Akanji
Currently valued at £36 million, Akanji will be in competition for a starting centre-back spot, but he has made 41 appearances across all competitions this season
4. LB: Joško Gvardiol
Signed last summer for £77 million and has slotted into the left-back role nicely in his debut season
