It seems that his successor will be Enzo Maresca, last time at Chelseawhere he trained until January. He was Pep Guardiola’s second in command during 2022-2023, managing to win the Champions League.

Maresca will receive, from City’s bosses, a substantial transfer budget. The media in England speculate that the team in England will spend up to 200 million euros to bring players.

His first target is Chelsea’s world champion Enzo Fernandez, who has worked with Maresca before. The midfielder could cost up to 100 million euros.

There are also several young players on the British list: Givairo Read, from Feyenoord, Matias Ferandez-Pardo, from LilleMathys Detourbet, from Troyes or Kennet Eichhorn, from Herta Berlin.

The big dream of the bosses at the Etihad is Vinicius Junior, who has an increasingly complicated situation at real madrid. Gabriel Sara, from Galatasaray or Elliot Anderson, from Nottingham are also on the list.
