How Man City could look next season with Pep Guardiola’s long list of transfer targets

THE pockets at Manchester City appear to be growing deeper.

After Riyad Mahrez became Pep Guardiola's only signing in the summer - for a mere £60million - City look set to take a look at their reserves.

A long list of transfer targets is starting to form ahead of the window opening.

And, here, SunSport takes a look at how Guardiola's starting XI may look next season.

Ederson

City confirmed the signing of American keeper Zack Steffen on Tuesday.

But no one is likely to replace Brazilian shot-stopper Ederson after his impact on Pep's plan at City.

Kyle Walker

Despite Rio Ferdinand pointing out his flaws, Walker has the key qualities for Guardiola's style.

His pace means he can join in with their swift attacks but recover as well.

John Stones

The Gerard Pique of Pep's City side, Stones is the creative element at the heart of City's defence.

Aymeric Laporte's impressive performances may increase the pressure on his position.

Nathan Ake

Bournemouth's centre-back has caught the eye of Pep.

His calm and collected style of defending, coupled with his ability on the ball, make the Dutch centre-back a perfect target for City.

6

Benjamin Mendy

French full-back Mendy has frustrated Guardiola at times.

But his talent and danger down the left for City means he's set to be a key figure in the coming campaigns.

Tanguy Ndombele

Lyon's impressive midfielder could be the replacement for Fernandinho in midfield.

But the Ligue 1 club are demanding £90million for the 21-year-old and City face competition from Man United, Tottenham and Barcelona.

6

Bernardo Silva

City have a long-term successor to David Silva in their own ranks.

The Portuguese playmaker has thrived this season and has the technical ability that Guardiola wants in his midfield.

Frenkie De Jong

Long-term target for Guardiola and one of the most wanted midfielders in European football.

The 21-year-old has admitted he will consider leaving Ajax in the summer, and City will be lurking with their wallets open.

6

Cengiz Under

City may boast an impressive array of forwards, but Guardiola is willing to part with £50million to bring in Turk Cenzig Under.

City are considering pouncing with Under in terrific form while Roma are unwilling to increase his pay.

Raheem Sterling

Nothing is likely to move the highly-impressive Englishman from his place in Pep's team.

Rotation will always be likely but Sterling will be the main man at City.

Sergio Aguero

Without the Argentine, City are a different proposition.

His goals are key for Guardiola's team to dominate in England as well as conquering in Europe.
