Pep Guardiola, the boss of Manchester City, wants to make a lot of changes to the team before next season. When the summer transfer window opens again, the club could spend up to £200 million, according to GIVEMESPORT sources.

The current Premier League champions have already made progress in signing the best up-and-coming players. For example, Claudio Echeverri is set to join at the beginning of 2025 after a £12.5 million deal was reached in January that allowed him to spend the rest of the year with River Plate. However, more plans are being made to bring in new players.

Guardiola will be able to spend even more money in the coming months, even though he already has after spending more than £200 million on Josko Gvardiol, Matheus Nunes, Jeremy Doku, and Mateo Kovacic after Manchester City won the Champions League for the first time in their history.

Even though Musiala was getting more attention, Paqueta was still planning to join the title chasers.

According to GMS sources, Manchester City has already started planning a major overhaul of the team, even though they are in the middle of another Premier League title race. Insiders say the overhaul could cost £200 million if Guardiola gives the go-ahead to spend a lot of money again.

Lucas Paqueta, a player for West Ham United, is set to sign at the Etihad Stadium. This comes less than a year after an £80 million move looked like it was going to happen, but Chelsea pulled out because they were being investigated by the Football Association for possible betting violations.

Jamal Musiala, another attacking midfielder, has also become a real target for Manchester City. He has scored 19 goals in 36 games this season, but they know it will be hard to get a deal done because Bayern Munich doesn’t want to let him leave after losing the Bundesliga title to Bayer Leverkusen.

According to GMS sources, Bruno Guimaraes and Joao Neves, who have made the defensive midfield position their own at Newcastle United and Benfica, are also of interest to Guardiola, and up to three upgrades could be welcomed into the squad before the start of the next season.

Manchester City won a late game against Chelsea on Saturday to move on to the FA Cup final. They are also not ruling out the chance of finding new players as they continue to plan for reinforcements after Real Madrid eliminated them from the Champions League last week.

GMS sources say that bidders will be interested in Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva when the transfer market reopens. This makes Manchester City even more eager to improve their middle rather than risk failing to get what they want if they accept offers.

The two players make a combined £700,000 a week for the Sky Blues, and potential suitors are eager to test their resolve by sending them offers. They want to improve their chances of winning trophies by adding two of Europe’s best players to the final third of the pitch.

If Guimaraes or Neves move to the Etihad Stadium in the summer, Rodri will have more competition for a regular starting spot, which will be interesting. However, the Spain international is likely to stay where he is after the transfer market closes.
