Transfer News 2025: Manchester City are reportedly planning major squad changes next summer as Pep Guardiola looks to build for the future.
Guardiola’s decision to extend his City contract to the conclusion of the 2026/27 season significantly boosts the defending Premier League Champions.

However, their present form is cause for concern. Five successive defeats in all competitions mark Guardiola’s worst managerial tenure run. Despite Guardiola’s belief that the current form slump is only temporary, the former manager recognises the necessity for change, as several of his experienced players are beginning to show their age.

Midfield duo Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne are both out of contract at the end of the season with doubts over the club’s willingness to offer extensions due to the latter’s injury record. He missed only one Premier League game in his first full season in England, in 2023/24, and has been almost constant in the current season.
After signing a contract extension this summer, the 22-year-old is committed to the Vitality Stadium until the end of the 2028/29 season, with a transfer fee of approximately £30 million ($38 million). However, according to the source, Bournemouth could ask for nearly 50% more than that sum to explore a sale and potentially use the money to reinforce other sections of their squad.
