Manchester City have a busy summer ahead as they look to strengthen their ranks for a renewed assault on multiple fronts next season.
Indeed, the rebuild is already under way at Manchester City, with a number of top talents joining in January and more on the cards early on in the new window.
For instance, Tijjani Reijnders has agreed a move to City and a medical is imminent.
Meanwhile, Rayan Ait-Nouri is closing on a move to the Etihad Stadium, and Rayan Cherki has confirmed he’s joining City.
They will all boost an already strong City squad, which boasts some of the best players in the world.

Why Erling Haaland could be even better than Sergio Aguero for Manchester City
Haaland and Sergio Aguero are the two standout forwards that Kevin De Bruyne has played with during his time at the Etihad Stadium.
De Bruyne recently revealed that he thinks Haaland will go on to do better things at City than Aguero, and he explained why.
“Erling is just a machine,” De Bruyne told Man City’s YouTube channel when picking his best XI.
“When he sees the goal, it is a different kind of person. I’ll probably go Erling, also for what I think will come.
“While doing no disservice to Kun, because I actually think we had a really good connection also, but I’ve had it with Erling also.”
