5 players that Manchester City could target in upcoming transfer window

Pep Guardiola's side has just won the English Premier League title for the fourth time in consecutive seasons and could get more powerful in the beginning phases of the upcoming transfer season. English clubs may legally register new signings starting June 14, and according to sources, Manchester City are lining up excellent early deals ahead of the new season.

Here are the 5 players that Manchester City could target in the upcoming transfer window

5. Diogo Costa 

Diogo Costa, the product of Porto's academy, has long been one of Europe's most talked-about goalkeepers, and with good cause. Costa is the prototypical modern-day custodian and will undoubtedly become the number one among Europe's most powerful clubs very soon. With Ederson bound to leave after serious competition from Stefan Ortega over the past couple of months, the Premier League champions might look to sign a new goalkeeper prior to the start of next season. However, Costa’s performances in the upcoming UEFA Euro 2024 would be key as a lot of teams would have an eye on him.

4. Bruno Guimaraes

Arsenal and Manchester City have expressed an interest in Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, who has a month until his release clause expires. The Brazilian became a star performer on Tyneside yet again in 2023-24, after signing from Lyon for £40 million just over two years ago. Manchester City may recruit Guimaraes by triggering his £100 million release clause prior to June 24, which is when it expires.

3. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

Manchester City are set to sign Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia during the summer, based on reports. The team sees him as an appealing addition to the roster for next season. However, the Citizens are expected to offer lots of money to entice the youngster. According to reports, they are ready to part company with Jack Grealish in order to pay the signing. The latter has shown decent results thus far and could be utilised to raise funds.

2. Joshua Kimmich

Joshua Kimmich has reached a 'deal' to depart from Bayern Munich during the summer, with Manchester City hoping to lure him to England, based on sources. The Citizens are looking for ways to enhance their midfield options during the summer transfer window, and Kimmich is allegedly one of their main targets. Kalvin Phillips, who is presently on loan at West Ham, is expected to move permanently in the summer, as the formerly Leeds United midfielder struggles to get into Pep Guardiola's starting lineup.

1. Jeremie Frimpong

Pep Guardiola's team is currently a beast of a team, and they want to recruit Jeremie Frimpong. Frimpong previously spent nine years in Manchester City's academy before joining Celtic. Joining Manchester City will offer Frimpong with consistent possibilities to win trophies throughout his career. Manchester City, on the other hand, does not play in the traditional wing-back role. However, a manager of Pep Guardiola's calibre can undoubtedly convince Frimpong to adjust to a new role.
