Until now, Man City still looks normal in the hunt for new players in the transfer market, only Mateo Kovacic has just officially joined them so far. Regarding Riyad Mahrez, it looks like he will be retained by Guardiola considering the vital role of the winger from Al Jazair. If Pep has ambitions to defend the Champions League title next season then I think Mahrez must stay put for next season. Even though it is reported that the Sudi Pro League club (Al Ahli) are interested in him but Mahrez doesn't want him for next season. I think the best option for him is to stay until the end of his contract and go to Al Expert next season while enjoying the end of his professional career.
It is reported that Man City has targeted 19-year-old winger Julio Enciso from Brighton & Hove Albion as a long-term option to be plotted to replace Mahrez or Bernardo Silva. It looks like there will be surprises in Man City's transfer this time if you see their movements are not being monitored by the media.
Manchester City are not too ambitious in this season's transfer window because the depth of their squad is still quite strong. If we look at Pep Guardiola, he is actually not too worried about the squad reshuffle being carried out by another team against them next season, be it in the Champions League or Premier League. Only Gundogan chose to leave and Pep has found a replacement. For Mahrez he still wants to stay at manchester city and i think pep guardiola also hopes he can stay for next season.
But the transfer window is still long enough I think Manchester City will also bring in other players in this transfer window. But if Manchester City manages to get new players in this transfer window, the competition to enter the first team will be quite difficult because the existing players are of sufficient quality for now. And yes there are always golden gems that will be brought to Etihad and that is the scheme of Pep Guardiola journey in the transfer window.
