The Manchester City team already has a strong character and Pep Guardiola has managed to do that with a long process, now even though there are only a few main players left I don't think it will significantly interfere with Manchester City's performance and even make it possible for the Manchester City team to be able to maintain performance in the long term. long time.
The process that the Manchester City team has been through is very long and they have spent a lot of money to be at this point, I think this is all the result of the hard work of this team.
Manchester City haven't lost many first-team players during the open transfer window, but they did let Ilkay Gundogan join Barcelona for free. Meanwhile Manchester City have signed Mateo Kovacic and they also have several other players returning after loan spells such as João Cancelo, Issa Kabore and Yan Couto.
I don't know if Manchester City will loan those three players out again or maybe include them in the game plan for next season, but they certainly haven't lost much quality from their squad. So believe that Manchester City will still remain the favorites in the Premier League next season even if Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool start to solidify their squads.
