Pep Guardiola is eyeing up an £120 million triple transfer for Manchester City in the January window, according to reports.
City secured a much-needed victory against Leicester City on December 29, with goals from Savinho and Erling Haaland providing their second Premier League win in 10 matches.
The Blues are now in sixth place, just four points behind Chelsea, ahead of their game against West Ham at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
After facing a series of injury setbacks, City are gradually welcoming back players, but with an aging squad, they are expected to be active in the January transfer window.
Several players have been linked as potential targets, but it seems City have focused on three individuals they believe can make a significant impact.
With a midfielder and forward being top priorities, Martin Blackburn from The Sun reports that City is considering a double deal for Atalanta’s Ederson and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Omar Marmoush.
Ederson, the Brazilian midfielder, has been identified as an ideal replacement for the injured Ballon d’Or winner Rodri, whose absence due to an ACL injury has contributed to City’s recent struggles.
Pep Guardiola is reportedly targeting a £120 million triple transfer in January to significantly revamp Manchester City’s squad. After securing a 2-1 victory over Leicester City on December 29, City are now in sixth place, just four points behind Chelsea, with a match against West Ham upcoming. With injuries starting to subside, but an aging squad in need of fresh talent, City are expected to be active in the transfer market.
City are reportedly focusing on three key signings: midfielder Ederson from Atalanta, forward Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt, and defender Abdukodir Khusanov from RC Lens. Ederson is seen as an ideal replacement for the injured Rodri, while Marmoush has impressed with 18 goals in 24 games. Khusanov would provide much-needed depth in defense.
Both Ederson and Marmoush are valued around £50 million each, with Khusanov expected to cost £20 million. Guardiola has expressed uncertainty about January signings, acknowledging the difficulty of the market and stressing that any acquisitions should be well-considered, not made out of necessity.
