Pep Guardiola's dream Man City squad after making two more signings

Manchester City have already suffered a big blow in the summer transfer window and the aim for the rest of the summer will be to suffer no more.

Losing Ilkay Gundogan could be significant. City have gotten used to saying goodbye to legends and have always survived when doubters thought they were lacking in certain positions, but Pep Guardiola hasn't lost a player like his last captain.

While the likes of David Silva, Sergio Aguero and Vincent Kompany were all on the decline and the time was right to move on, Gundogan is still playing the best football of his career and was instrumental in the treble triumph. Mateo Kovacic has been signed but it's impossible to know if he'll be able to fill the void left behind.

City don't view the Croatian as a direct replacement and proved they still want another midfielder after making an approach for Declan Rice before being priced out. With Jude Bellingham also accounted for, there aren't many obvious midfield signings for City to make.

Exciting Celta Vigo starlet Gabri Veiga has been linked and, though a bit more attacking than Gundogan, the 21-year-old appears to be the profile of midfielder Guardiola likes. Otherwise, it looks like Gundogan's role will be divided by Kovacic, Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez.

Now City need to ensure they don't lose any other important players, the most obvious being Bernardo Silva. The playmaker has longed to return to mainland Europe to be closer to home for three years now but no suitable offer has yet been made for his services. Fingers will have to keep crossed to hope one never does as Paris Saint-Germain are heavily linked this summer,
