127 million euros for 4 people in a row! The exchange of blood is accelerated, and Manchester City introduces "fast, accurate and ruthless"


Written by Han Bing In just 40 hours, Manchester City has officially announced four new signings, spending more than 127 million euros in the unprecedented Club World Cup transfer window. While the other Premier League's traditional top six were still hesitant to negotiate major signings, the Blues quickly filled four key tactical positions. This summer, under the operation of the new sporting director Hugo Viana, Manchester City made an early start, which can be called "fast and accurate".


After a failed season, Manchester City president Hosni Mubarak has vowed to be "proactive". Manchester City will fly to the United States on 12 June to prepare for the Club World Cup, and in this context, the transfer work of the Blue Moon Army must be accelerated. Pep Guardiola teamed up with new sporting director Hugo Viana, who succeeded Belriggistan, to strike in just 10 days in just 10 days in the Club World Cup transfer window, which runs from 1 to 10 June.


Bayer Leverkusen's €150 million asking price for Wirtz is firm, and City decisively move on to other targets that are more cost-effective. Among the four new signings, Reinders, who has a transfer fee of 55 million + 15 million euros, is the key to solving the midfield crisis. Despite the €60 million purchase of Nico Gonzalez from Porto in the winter window, City's midfield's lack of physicality and movement has not changed. Pep Guardiola wants a reliable double insurance in the midfield position and cannot allow a repeat of the crisis of Rodri's serious injury and Kovacic's multiple injury absences.



Dutch midfielder Reinders, who is of Indonesian descent, will turn 27 and was the best in Milan's squad last season. 10 goals and 4 assistsOf the Serie A midfielders, only champions Napoli's Scott McTominay has scored more goals (16) than him. Reinders, who ranked fifth in Serie A last season for through balls and ninth for forward passes, is the playmaker Pep Guardiola needs. Last season, Reinders averaged 0.87 shots per game and a goal rate of 23 per cent. With Kevin De Bruyne gone, Manchester City are in desperate need of a quality midfielder who can increase their attacking power, and Reinders will partner Rodri as a key player in the new version of the Blues' midfield.


The 21-year-old scored 12 goals and provided 20 assists for Lyon last season, except that he averaged the same number of shots per game (2.2) as Manchester City winger Doku, lower than Savinho (2.8) and Foden (3), and averaged more goals per game (0.4) and 0.6 assists per game than Manchester City's three midfielders, and created chances per game (3.7). Thierry Henry admits that he has never seen a player so fast with the ball. The Italian-Algerian player can play as both an attacking midfielder and a winger, and he has a well-balanced foot, with a low price of 36 million + 6 million euros, which only allowed Manchester City to pick up when Lyon was in deep financial crisis.


The 24-year-old was second only to Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold (0.34) in the Premier League last season in the Premier League. The Algerian international has excellent speed and breaking ability, and can be more involved in the attack at left wing-back, which is an important role in enriching the attacking routine. The price of 31 million pounds (about 36.5 million euros) + 5 million pounds (about 6 million euros) is also surprisingly low. Goalkeeper Bettinelli will replace Carson as the team's third goalkeeper.



Manchester City's decisive summer signings continue the style of the winter window signings of Marmousz, Nico Gonzalez, Savinho and Husanov. The new main lineup has basically taken shape, and the whole lineup of double insurance is only the right wing-back. However, there are concerns about Cherki, who has been too emotional before, after all, he is reluctant to participate in defense and has a serious lack of emotional management, which is the consensus of his three coaches at Lyon. Whether Pep Guardiola can truly transform him into a top superstar like Kevin De Bruyne remains to be seen.


In addition to the "Manchester City 3.0" squad that has begun to take shape, Manchester City also has another important signing: Klopp's "best partner" Leders. Pep Guardiola's previous coaching staff, Lillo, Wicsens and Domingos, have all left, and he will have to rebuild the coaching staff in addition to the team. On May 27, Pep Guardiola called Riders, hoping that the latter would act as his arm as Jurgen Klopp. Three days later, Leders, who had been Klopp's right-hand man for nine and a half years, became City's new chief assistant coach.


Manchester City, Florida, on June 13, has a new look. The Club World Cup will be the real pre-season of the "new Manchester City" and the beginning of Pep Guardiola's re-certification.
