Mubarak: We already have a clear signing goal and will quickly operate these transfers

May 29th According to Manchester City's official website, Manchester City Chairman Mubarak talked about the club's situation in an interview recently. Manchester City President Mubarak said the club plans to make multiple signings this summer to reshape Guardiola's roster before the FIFA club's World Cup, which will begin on June 14.

Manchester City defeated Fulham in the final match of the Premier League in 2024-25 to secure qualifying for the Champions League next season, but the club has quickly turned its attention to strengthening the roster before the club's first World Cup match. The new event will be attended by 32 teams from around the world, and will be held in 11 cities in the United States, meaning there will be two transfer windows this summer. The first transfer window is from June 1 to June 10, and clubs that qualify for the competition are allowed to add players before the game begins, while the second transfer window is from June 16 to September 1.

Manchester City Chairman Mubarak said that Manchester City has been planning for a long time in market operations to make full use of the first opportunity to strengthen.

In response to this, Mubarak said: "I can tell you that we have clearly identified the target candidates and positions, and that we have clear first and second choices. We will operate quickly and clearly, and our goal is to prepare a new squad before the club's World Cup."

In fact, Manchester City's lineup reconstruction has begun. In the January transfer window, the club signed four important players: Marmush, Husanov, Vito Rez and Nico Gonzalez. It's an unusual January transfer event, as Manchester City usually makes most of the signings during the summer transfer period. Despite the change of past practices, the Chairman was pleased with the new player’s adaptation in the first five months of English football.

Speaking of this, Mubarak said: "We have started the team's rebuilding in January. Usually we like to transfer in the summer and only take action in January in case of an emergency. But this January, we have to act. We are very satisfied with these players, which are four players signed in January, which also gives you an idea of ​​what will happen this summer because we will continue to meet the needs of the club. Marmush is a great player, he has been in our sight for a while, originally the target for the summer, but the demand is obvious. He has an immediate impact as soon as he comes.

"Then it's Husanov, who is a very talented centre-back, and we also observe him for a while. We might have transferred in the summer, but due to the injury to the central defender position at that time, we needed to act in advance. Husanov is a young, versatile and very talented centre-back who is perfect for our team. Vito Rees is also a very talented and versatile central defender. Although he is only 19 years old, he has all the qualities of becoming a great player in the club.

"Finally it's Nico Gonzalez, another very talented player, we've been following him for a while. We had a specific need for the midfielder position in January. It's not easy to complete the transfer in January, and it's hard for the players to do well in the Premier League and our team immediately, but thanks to these four players, who have contributed to the club and the team as soon as they come."
