‘We have to!’ - Pep Guardiola confirms Man City will strengthen in January transfer window as injuries wreak havoc on squad

Premier League

Ipswich

Manchester City

<p>City’s approach to the winter window has historically been conservative, with Aymeric Laporte being the last high-profile January acquisition in 2018. At that time, Guardiola’s side enjoyed a commanding 12-point lead at the league's summit and went on to complete a record-breaking 100-point season. However, the<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-city-january-transfer-window-pep-guardiola/blt6cde8c73f60b71ae" target="_blank"> current circumstances are markedly different,</a> with the team facing a rare crisis.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>City’s form has faltered significantly, with only one win in their last 12 matches across all competitions. In the Premier League, they are<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/florian-wirtz-bruno-guimaraes-manchester-city-transfer-wishlist-pep-guardiola/bltb61859a7a5d969f5" target="_blank"> winless in three consecutive games,</a> a stark contrast to their usual dominance. Ahead of their clash with Everton, Guardiola admitted the necessity of bolstering the squad to turn their fortunes around.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to Amazon Prime, Guardiola stated: "We have to add players. Definitely. Definitely. We struggle especially in the back and in the middle. I think we have to but I don't know if it's going to happen. The transfer window in winter is not easy."</p>

WHAT GUARDIOLA SAID

<p>Although specific targets remain undisclosed, preparations for potential signings are already underway. City’s director of football, Txiki Begiristain, is leading discussions with clubs and player representatives, despite his departure next summer. Guardiola and other senior figures are working closely with Begiristain to identify suitable reinforcements. City’s financial stability provides them with the flexibility to invest, as they refrained from heavy spending during the summer transfer window. However, Guardiola emphasised that they are unlikely to spend without purpose. Instead, they will carefully evaluate options that align with their long-term plans.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>As the club prepares for a busy January window, Guardiola’s focus will also be on reversing their poor domestic form and reigniting their Premier League campaign. A victory against Everton on Thursday would provide a much-needed morale boost and a chance to reestablish momentum.</p>
