Manchester City Star Julian Alverez will become the most hated City player after he signed a contract of five years with shocking La Liga rival Club
There is still a chance that Manchester City will choose to bring in an internal player to replace Julian Alvarez this month, so it is far from certain.
Oscar Bobb stands out the most, having been the team’s most impressive player during its preseason tour of the United States. In City’s four high-scoring friendlies since turning 21 in mid-July, the Norway international has assisted three goals and scored two goals.
Bobb seems destined for a more prominent role after making 26 appearances in the previous season, all but seven of which were as substitutes. Making an impression without Alvarez has only improved his prospects.
That also holds true for James McAtee, who assisted on two goals against Chelsea in addition to scoring in the Milan match. In the other two matches, Nico O’Reilly also took his chances, assisting Bobb in his first goal against Celtic and scoring a goal of his own against Barcelona.
They are both expected to remain in the starting lineup for this season. Another expectation is that Phil Foden will play a bigger role this season than he did the previous one.
Regarding the players City has already acquired, Savinho ought to get the chance to impress in the Community Shield matchup against Manchester United. In January, after spending the remainder of the year on loan at River Plate, is Claudio Echeverri as well.
Pep Guardiola has stated that should a player leave, the team would think about expanding, but it will be difficult to find the right player by the end of this month. The manager stated that the team would have the same makeup as the previous year, so do not expect to see many new players join for the original £64 million fee or the money made on Sergio Gomez, Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Tommy Doyle, and Yan Couto.
