Pep will certainly strive to bring Manchester City back to the title next season. If City fails again, Pep's reputation will suffer somewhat. Manchester City does appear to have made quite thorough preparations in the current transfer market. However, I still think De Bruyne's departure is quite unfortunate. I don't think the player brought in to replace him will necessarily be on par with De Bruyne. So, Manchester City could start to lose their strength in one area. But I think my concerns are overblown. Pep certainly knows what he's building at the club.
Manchester City has spent around 170 million to buy 5 players. None of them are big names. But each player is very talented. Manchester City has added Dutch footballer Tijjani Reijnders to their squad as a replacement for De Bruyne. This midfielder performed well last season with AC Milan. Milan's overall performance was weak, but we saw 10 goals and 5 assists from Tijjani Reijnders.
Manchester City has also tried to strengthen their defense and attack. Then it is not certain whether City will win the title. Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea have also strengthened their squad. The fight for the Premier League title next season is going to be very intense, there is no doubt about it.
It is difficult for Guardiola to win the title but it is not impossible. Guardiola is an experienced coach. We will definitely wait to see City's comeback. At the very least, we will expect stable and consistent performance from City.
