Manchester City will not be winning back-to-back Champions League titles, crashing out of the competition at the quarter-final stage on Wednesday night, losing on penalties to Real Madrid. But Pep Guardiola’s men could yet win back-to-back FA Cup and Premier League titles.
Both of those competitions will be decided in the coming weeks, while City will already be doing some forward planning for next season. Targets will already be identified, and there are some players Guardiola may well move on. With that in mind, we have put together a potential City starting XI for next season based on recent rumours. Values provided by Transfermarkt. Take a look below.
9. LW - Dani Olmo - €50m
Paquetá has been regularly linked, but Dani Olmi is another reported target. Olmo is a workhorse winger, and while he is right footed, he can certainly do a job on the left. Grealish and Doku will have something to say, but a new winger looks likely with Bernardo Silva regularly being linked with an exit. | AFP via Getty Images
10. CAM - Kevin De Bruyne - €60m
