Premier League champions Manchester City are planning to make more signings this summer, chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has revealed.
City have already secured a deal for the prolific Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland and their attack will be further boosted by the arrival of Argentina international hotshot Julian Alvarez.
However, that’s unlikely to be the end of Pep Guardiola’s transfer business, as the City chief looks to strengthen further.
Speaking in his annual end-of-season interview with the club’s website, Khaldoon said: “I can confirm that there will be more players coming in.
“We are looking to strengthen the team in the areas that we need strengthening, and every season some players leave and we have to continually refresh the team.
“I think we’ve made two very important additions already but I anticipate we will be doing a couple more.”
Of the business done so far, Khaldoon is convinced City have pulled off a coup in securing the services of Haaland.
The 21-year-old will head to The Etihad for £51million after City saw off interest from other clubs.
Khaldoon added: “We have, in Haaland, arguably the best number nine in the world at the right age.
“When you look at the next 10-15 years we have invested, in Haaland, in that striker for the future.
“He is a very, very unique, incredibly talented striker that I think the whole world has been looking at. I would say every big team in the world wanted Haaland to join. And we are absolutely delighted Haaland chose to join Manchester City.
“For us, it’s a super decision. We are getting, truly, a phenomenal player. He will fit very nicely with the group.”
Next season will be Guardiola’s seventh at City and the last of his existing contract.
