In the past two days, Manchester City has officially announced four new players, with a total cost of about 130 million euros. It is not difficult to see that Manchester City is very busy at this transfer window before the Club World Cup, and it is "quick, accurate and ruthless".

Manchester City won the Premier League, the Champions League, the FA Cup and the British League Cup last season. They could not accept that they missed the knockout round in the Champions League and only won one Community Shield Championship. Manchester City is rich and powerful, and the most direct way to change the team is to spend a lot of money to sign ups. It is worth mentioning that on June 12 (today), Manchester City will fly to the United States to prepare for the Club World Cup. Under such circumstances, the transfer work of the Blue Moon Army must be accelerated. In just ten days, Manchester City continued the "blood-change" style of the winter window, and signing four people in one go is really efficiency first!

Previously, when Manchester City confirmed that De Bruyne had left the team, the center of the midfield offensive urgently needed to introduce a star who could replace him. Wiltz from Leverkusen in the Bundesliga is a star that Manchester City has been committed to introducing. However, Wiltz's transfer value reached 150 million euros. Manchester City was discouraged and could only turn their attention to players with higher cost performance.

26-year-old Dutch midfielder Reindes is an all-round midfielder with abundant physical strength, wide running coverage, first-class ball control ability, strong sense of forward shot shooting, and rarely injured. Last season, Reindez scored 10 goals and 5 assists for AC Milan in Serie A. At this stage, Manchester City urgently needs a powerful midfielder who can increase its attack power, and Reindes is exactly the organizational midfielder that Guardiola needs.

Former Lyon midfielder Serky, who is only 21 years old, landed in Manchester City with a transfer fee of 36.5 million euros. He is a talented attacker with balanced left and right feet and strong individual combat capabilities. He has contributed 12 goals and 20 assists to Lyon in the past season. After De Bruyne left Manchester City, Serki has hope to become Manchester City's new offensive organization core.

Algerian international Aitnuri played 41 times for Wolves last season, with 5 goals and 7 assists, fast speed and tough defense, which is undoubtedly an important role in enriching offensive routines. Another advantage for Manchester City is the low price (31 million pounds). In addition, Manchester City also signed Chelsea substitute goalkeeper Betinelli to strengthen the depth of the bench in the goalkeeper's position.

With the above four players signed, Manchester City's fifth pick also came lightning. Early this morning, according to the latest news from foreign media, Manchester City is about to reach an agreement with Rosenberg to sign 18-year-old midfielder Sville Nipan.

Nipan, born in December 2006, is only 18 years old and comes from the Norwegian giant Rosenberg youth training. He started training with Rosenberg's first team at the age of 14, officially promoted to the first team in January 2022, and became the youngest player in the club's history at the age of 15 years and 322 days. As an attacking midfielder, Nipan has very comprehensive skills, foot skills, ball breaking through, passing and shooting are extremely threatening, and the area covered by running is also very large. In Rosenberg's 4-3-3 formation, Nipan played in the No. 8 position, and his narrow ball control ability and unexpected passes were impressive.

However, it is reported that Manchester City's plan is to let him join Girona on loan first and play for one year, receive better training in the La Liga, and wait until his skills are more mature before coming to the Etihad Stadium to play side by side with the national team's big brothers Haaland and Oscar Bob.

The new Club World Cup is about to start. Can Guardiola prove himself through this new Manchester City, which has undergone a "big blood change"? What do you think?
