Am not suggesting their number nine for ours. But he would be a good signing moving forward especially with our big fella on route to Spain.

Hugo Viana to be new Director of Football (Official Announcement p17)

Don't really think the squad needs a huge upgrade. Just a few tweaks.
Goalkeepers: Ederson's good to stay, Ortega will go so probably need to replace him.
Defenders: Walker will stay but step down and Lewis will move into midfield so a new RB is due. Or we move Akanji to RB full-time and buy a new CB. Happy with everyone else.
Midfielders: Not sure a "Rodri back-up" exists in the form we want, we just need someone like Kovacic but with more defensive discipline. Speaking of, Kovacic is fine to stay. De Bruyne will take a step back, Foden will remain first option. Gundogan will go. Bernardo will stay but take a step back. New DM/CM and creative CAM needed imo.
Wingers: Bobb, Savinho, Doku, and Grealish is enough to be going on with. Nunes too if he fancies staying out on the left. Sneaky suspicion Grealish might leave for a fresh start after all these injuries, the burglary, new child, etc. So perhaps we'll be in the market there.
Forwards: Haaland is incredible, he's good to stay. Need another number 9 to back him up a bit.
So, a back-up GK if Ortega leaves, a RB (or CB), a DM/CM hybrid type, a creative CAM, and a striker. Five players. Shouldn't be too hard to line up the targets Pep wants and give it a go.

There is no guarantee big sums will be spent this summer especially when we are waiting to hear the results of the Premier League charges and whether Pep will remain at City for a further season. Interesting times...

Big big additions. A musiala or wirtz is essential plus backup rodri backup striker and a right back

A RB is a must.
2 midfielders for Gundogan and Kovacic and Rodri cover.
A KDB replacement, praying it's a Wirtz or Musiala but I won't hold my breath.
Another forward to cover big Earl.
5 players. Seems feasible. Big summer for the new man.
