Manchester City transfer news: Pep Guardiola hints at summer spending spree but remains unsure about Ilkay Gundogan’s future
Pep Guardiola is looking to strengthen in ‘three or four positions’ this summer once the transfer window opens.The Manchester City boss has assembled a squad which is still in the hunt for an unprecedented ‘Quadruple’ of trophies this season after winning the Carabao Cup against Chelsea last weekend.3

Guardiola has suggested City could sign ‘three or four players’ in the summer

However, the ageing Fernandinho and the injury problems of Benjamin Mendy mean the Spaniard feels it is necessary for the Citizens to delve into the market once again.He said: “You know we are going to try for a holding midfielder and other positions we are thinking about.”Guardiola also told reporters on Friday he feels the left side of his defence is somewhere he will be forced to strengthen.Mendy’s injury-ravaged two seasons at the Etihad have seen midfielders Oleksandr Zinchenko and Fabian Delph fill in the role, with Aymeric Laporte also shifting out wide.3

Mendy has spent much of his time in Manchester on the treatment table

Since joining in 2017, the France international has started just 16 Premier League games for City and he most recently featured against Burton Albion in the Carabao Cup on January 23.The 48-year-old said: “If it happens in two seasons, it can happen in three, definitely. Hopefully not, we’ll work with that, but the truth is we could use him for a few games. That is the reality.

HOW MANCHESTER CITY COULD LINE UP WITH THEIR TOP TARGETS NEXT SEASON

“I don’t know what’s going to happen but we are thinking about the chance to find somebody in that position.“At the end the strongest guys, every day, are there. That is the truth. That’s why we are looking for next season.3

World Cup winner Gundogan is not guaranteed a starting role at City

“There are three or four positions I think we have to try to look for, and some ideas we have.”Guardiola also revealed the club were still working on the future of Ilkay Gundogan, whose current deal expires in 2020.The 28-year-old has started 14 games in the league this season, but is not an automatic starter with the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva regularly getting picked ahead of him.“If he was 100 per cent then the deal would have been done, so we are still in negotiations,” added the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager. “He is an incredibly important player. He knows what we want, he knows what we think about him, but the last decision is not in our hands.“We try to speak with him, we want him to extend the contract right now. But if he doesn’t want to, we cannot do anything else.”
