This season is a disappointing season for Manchester City. Whether it is the domestic league or the foreign Champions League, they have lost the opportunity to compete for the championship very early. In the FA Cup and League Cup, which have been relatively stable in the past, they also failed to win the championship, especially in the FA Cup final, where they unexpectedly lost to Crystal Palace, and since then they have ended the season in a way that all four of them are gone. In addition, Kevin De Bruyne, a team's 10-year meritorious player, announced his departure, which also made the fans feel a little more sad. Fortunately, after the end of the season, the team completed various signings in just 10 days, once again demonstrating the financial strength of the Etihad Consortium. Let’s take a look at what operations the team has done so as to see who are introduced!

1. Strengthen the team's midfield and introduce Reindez.

First of all, the team's first operation was to reach an agreement with Serie A giant AC Miran, and obtained Dutch midfielder Reindez from Milan for a transfer fee of 70 million euros. This time the signing is also very targeted. After all, after De Bruyne left, the team's midfielder also urgently needed players to substitute. Obviously, the 26-year-old Dutch international is indeed one of the most suitable candidates. This season, Reindes has become the most trustworthy one in Milan's midfield. He has played in a total of 52 games and contributed 15 goals and 4 assists to the team. Both in terms of data and specific performance on the field are quite good. In fact, Guardiola had already paid attention to Reindez a long time ago. In Serie A this season, he averaged nearly 12 kilometers of running distance, and almost covered the entire front and backcourts. It can be said that he has a lot of physical fitness. In addition, he has a precise shooting ability, so he is very suitable for Guardiola's tactical system. Of course, Reindez is not able to completely satisfy Guardiola. After all, the rhythm and confrontation here are more intense when he first enters the Premier League arena. He must adapt as soon as possible, otherwise he will bear tremendous pressure from fans and teams in the future.

2. Add defense depth and buy Nuri from Wolves.

The team's second signing came very quickly. The day after signing Reindes, the team announced again that it had reached an agreement with Wolves and received left-back Nuri for a transfer fee of 35 million pounds. After completing the signing, Noori will undergo a physical examination on the weekend. No big surprise, he will follow Manchester City to compete in the upcoming Club World Cup. The left-back from Algeria has been playing for Wolves for five years. At the age of 24 this season, he has scored 5 goals and 7 assists in 41 games. As an offensive left-back, he has excellent dribbling ability, his feet are very delicate, and his scoring and assisting abilities are satisfying. Moreover, he is very strong and is not afraid of confrontation at all. In the game against Liverpool, facing Salah, he even successfully restricted his opponents many times and proved his worth. Of course, Nouri is not without flaws. Although he showed good defensive ability in the duel with Salah, his defense was still relatively average throughout the season, which may become a major hidden danger for Manchester City. However, with Guardiola's coaching ability, he can fully think of a tactical system that can make up for this defect.

3. Poach the strong rival Liverpool and strengthen team data analysis.

In addition, the team also made an interesting signing in the past 10 days, and it was not the players who signed it, but James French, a data analyst who had been in Liverpool for 13 years. As early as Rodgers coached Liverpool, French became a member of the Liverpool uniform team. After that, he served as Klopp and Slot, and became the most trusted existences of these coaches. In addition, Linders, an assistant coach of Klopp during his time as Liverpool, was also invited by Manchester City not long ago and will become a member of Guardiola's coaching staff in the future. This time, Manchester City can learn from Liverpool's advantages and make use of it for its own use, whether it is the tactical system or the relevant analysis of player data. Although the team has not been able to get players in this signing, the arrival of these two people and their role in the future will probably not be lower than that of the players on the court. With their advice, Manchester City may be able to rise again next season.

4. Chasing the French demon star is close to reaching an agreement.

Finally, let’s talk about the team’s latest potential operation, which is to try to get the 21-year-old French monster star Cherki. As early as the 22-23 season, Cherki had become Lyon's midfield core, playing 5 goals and 6 assists. Last season, he continued his excellent form, with data remaining at 3 goals and 9 assists. This season, this young man has completely exploded, and directly scored a large double-double with 12 goals and 20 assists in 44 games, making him the team's well-deserved key man. With his outstanding performance, he not only became the Ligue 1 assist king this season, but also received official recognition in the UEFA Cup and was successfully selected into the Best Team. In the European League semi-final that ended not long ago, although France lost to Spain with a score of 4:5, Cherki's performance was very outstanding, which once again proved that he was not a flash in the pan this season. Moreover, since Cherki and Lyon have a gentleman clause on termination in the contract, even if Cherki plays amazingly, Manchester City will not spend too much money to get him. The estimated transfer fee is 35-40 million euros, which is undoubtedly a very cost-effective signing for Manchester City.
