Manchester City seems to be preparing for the next season better than any other top club in the English Premier League and this must have been triggered by the team's failure in Uefa Champions League, Manchester City has been into the semifinal more than once under Guardiola regime and they want to have a feel of what it means to be the king of Europe.
They had a great season in the English Premier League but winning the title wasn't enough for the Champions, they wanted to conquer more grounds and Guardiola believe that getting more strikers would do the job.
Manchester City's defense has been really great even though they have messed up during crucial, City's backline is an expensive one, and I believe that Pep wouldn't bother himself too much having Walker, Cancelo, Dias, with the likes of Ake and Zinchenko stepping up strong enough to make a great impact in the team.
Manchester midfield has been the team stronghold as well, the club midfielder has stepped up in every game to ensure they grab victory for the club. Kevin De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Foden, Silva, and many others have had great impacts on the team. They have scored crucial goals and won crucial matches, they have done a great job covering the lapses of the Manchester City forward.
Manchester City's manager believes in dominance game and having a solid midfield is what guarantees that and he has got one of the best-combined midfield in the league right.
The club attack seems to be the issue, they might be grinding out results in the Premier League but it's not working for them in European football. To solve that, Pep Guardiola has secured the signature of Haaland from Dortmund.
The city paid his buyout clause to show important he is since the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling, and others aren't stepping at the crucial moments in the European Competition. Hopefully, he will add so much value to the club.
Last night, a notification popped up and it said Julian Alvarez was set to join Manchester City for the club pre-season and the name didn't ring a bell. I decided to check him out and the first thing that popped up with his name was that he scored 6 goals in a single match recently.
He is one of the best in the Argentina league and he has been on the radar of clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester United, he has been tagged as a rising star and his stats have proven it. City didn't just sign him now, they secured his signature in January and he would be joining the club fully in the 2022/23 season.
Julian Alvarez will definitely be doing the Premier League Champions a lot of good if he brings the scoring form to the EPL, pairing him with Haaland could end up giving us the best attacking pair in the Premier League, or should be expected otherwise.
The presence of these guys could lead to the likes of, Jesus, Sterling, and Mahrez grabbing any opportunity that comes their way because having more strikers would mean more competition for playing time in the team. I don't believe that City is done, I am still looking forward to seeing them land more fantastic players ahead of the 2022/23 season.
