**After significant investment in two of the Premier League’s biggest stars, some have been wondering what is next for Manchester City this month in the way of signings.**
With Antoine Semenyo arriving in a £62.5 million move from Bournemouth and Marc Guehi joining from Crystal Palace for £20 million, City have already made two statements of intent in the January market.
Both additions have been viewed as addressing immediate first-team needs, with Semenyo boosting attacking options and Guehi adding depth and reliability in defence during a period where injuries have tested Guardiola’s resources.
There had been an optimistic feeling among fans that further business could still be possible, despite January windows at the Etihad Stadium have often being shaped by opportunity rather than necessity.
However, Manchester City’s recruitment model remains tightly structured and rather than overloading the group in a single window, the preference has traditionally been to act decisively when the right profiles become available.
And now, according to [The Athletic’s Sam Lee](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6980553/2026/01/20/transfer-news-premier-league-latest/), no other Manchester City first-team signings are expected to be made in the days that remain in the ongoing 2026 January transfer window.
This clarity points out how satisfied the club are with current business, with Semenyo and Guehi both identified as high-priority targets, and securing their services early will allow Pep Guardiola to integrate them without the pressure of late-window panic.
Attention may now turn more towards potential outgoings as Oscar Bobb remains a player of interest across Europe, with Fulham having reportedly proposed a £35 million deal for the forward, while Borussia Dortmund continue to track his situation.
There is also ongoing interest in both Stefan Ortega and James Trafford, while Nathan Aké has similarly attracted attention, although City are reluctant to weaken defensive options given the injuries to John Stones, Ruben Dias, and Josko Gvardiol.
