When Manchester City announced back in October that Sporting CP’s Hugo Viana took over from TXIKI BEGIRISTAIN as the director of the club’s football in this summer, the team was still unbeaten in all the competitions. Now the defending premiere league champions are in the fight to end in the top four outside Europe, and their only chance of silverware is FA Cup – where they meet Nottingham Forest in the semi -finals on Sunday (((Stream Live at ESPN+ at 11:25 pm,
With an upcoming handover period from Begirsen, Viana officially began work on 7 April and one of the several tasks before the summer transfer window would be how to modify the club’s midfield. Club Legend Kevin de Bruin It has already announced that when its contract is finished, he will leave, and it is looking fast. Ilke Gundogan And Bernardo Silva Outside the door will also follow the 33 -year -old.
Whereas the city spent more than € 150 million on four new arrival in January and can see the talents already coming to the club. Oscar bob, Claudio AchewarriNico o’reli and James McTateThis will definitely be in the summer of comling and going in athahad. And there is no certainty about the Champions League participation in the next season, along with the Premier League 115 allegations, Viana must have cut off her work.
So how does anyone go about such a complex reconstruction? Instead of targeting D Brune and others such as replacement like replacement, the path ahead for Pep Guardiola will be to find multi -purpose midfielders with quality to fill a wide variety of positions. Along with many of their squads, they should feel comfortable slotting around the pitch, but it is also important that those who are working with more central roles can jiggle with Ballon D’Or Rhodari When he returns from injury.
Who should consider some city here.

Is Man City de Brune making a mistake in leaving?
Discussing the demonstration with Miclicic against the Crystal Palace of Janusz Michelik and Luis Miguel Achegare Kevin de Brune, asked if Man City would regret leaving the midfielder.
Attack on midfield (number 10)
Florian wretz21, Bayer Leverkusen
Transfer Price: € 140 m
If a sign of a signature was ever one. Wirtz was the attacker catalysts in Leverkusen’s double -winning campaign in the previous season and reiterated its devastating impact to the campaign. The 21-year-old has all the features required from a world-class number 10-which sits in the space behind the striker and the midfield-like it is quite creative (2.30 key per 90 minutes per pass), is luxurious to find a place between lines, and a high-volume drabler (3.50 successful take-on-offs per 90 minutes).
Wirtz is the type of player who should be able to determine the guardiola’s attacker structure, along with the supply of wings and midfield runners, as well as wiping on rebellion and trimming from the central striker Erling Hayalland,
Is it likely to happen, though? Smart Money Bayern appears to be involved in Munich, while Real Madrid is allegedly considering a dialect, and is suspected whether Germany International also would like to join the city amidst a major reconstruction. If they miss the Champions League, they will not have an expectation, while splashing around € 140 meters on a player will also compromise the club’s ability to meet other signals.
Key State: 33 goals and 33 assistance are amazing since the onset of last season.
Zavi Simmons21, RB leapzig
Transfer Price: € 70 m
Simmons is yet to reach the levels levels, but there are some factors that strengthen their candidature. He matches his opponent in major pass data, but will cost very little in his transfer, and he should be originally fit in the style of guardiola’s football, given his background at La Masia Academy, Barcelona.
The Netherlands International also has average-average finishing skills and a step for a more occupation side should look at its goals and increase the number aid significantly. Like the interests, Simmons is also excellent in set pieces – something that will decrease in the absence of D Brune.
Key State: The 2.24 key is 90 minutes per 90 minutes, there is the same with the elite class attacking midfielders in Europe.
Nico paz20, como
Transfer Price: € 35 m
Europe’s elite club Seri A is monitoring the young Argentina International on the back of a brilliant breakout season, where he had seven assistance and six goals in 30 matches. However, Real Madrid allegedly refused to re -signed Paz for a section for a section in the € 6M agreement that took him to Como in summer.
The city will have to work fast and pay on obstacles to sign the paz, but it is only 20 years old and has a lot of roof for development. In fact, he has proved to be able to score from distance or provide cleanliness to his team partner and, like the interests and Simmons, he also excels to get and pass in limited locations.
Key State: 2.85 shots are 90 minutes of decent numbers that show that it may be a target threat.
Morgan Gibbs-White25, Nottingham Forest
Transfer Price: € 50 m
However, a midfielder with a separate technical profile from the above players, Gibbs-White blooms in a free number 10 role and offers Nuno Espirito Santos X-Factor in the final third-a five goals and seven assist in this season as well as fine defensive production.
The former Volvs Academy’s graduates have been some excellent weather in Nottingham Forest and have been important to get up on the table this season. An interesting aspect of his game is his sharp, diverse and direct passing and he often starts counter attacks in the blink of an eye when his side occupies.
Gibbs-White always wants to join the drama and make his fast decision making, luxurious vision and target-scoring ability from midfield to make him highly desired by traditional top clubs. How he will settle in more patient side than the forest, although there is an interesting question.
Key State: He puts in 0.31 XA – a expected assistance for every third game.
Dejan Kulusvsky24, Tottenham Hotspur
Transfer Price: € 60 m
Although there is a slim chance of materiality in this transfer, given that Sweden International has a contract until 2028 and is unlikely that the spurs will entertain any offer for one of their best players, the city feels that the terrible season of the spurs gives them a chance to celebrate them.
While kulecepti can be very direct in style for guardiola, some top level players are more disastrous in infection. After being reinforced to a central midfielder from a winger, Kulusvski represents the threat of a serious target and rank there with the best shooting. He can play as number 8 – a player who gets quickly from the box to the box – especially in distant games, and can also provide some additional value to the guardiola in a wide role.
Key State: The 2.6 key passes 90 minutes per 90 minutes, which attacks the midfielders at Kulusavsky at the top 2% of the Premier League.
2:26
Will Kevin D Bruin end at MLS?
Steve Nicole, Alejandro Moreno and Julian Laurence argued where the best landing spots for Kevin de Bruin could be.
Box-to-box midfield (number 8)
Tijani Reganders, 26, AC Milan
Transfer Price: € 50 m
The role of the all-action Central Midfielder requires participation at both ends of the pitch and there are some better options than the Regents, who have scored 14 goals for their club and one and three for the Netherlands this season.
The key to his bounce in the final product has been a strategic twist – which was introduced by former Milan Boss Paulo Fonseca – which freed the Reginders from some of his defensive responsibilities and encouraged them to shoot more often. Indeed, at the rate of 2.35 shots per 90 minutes, he is now one of the most trigger-Happy Central Midfielders in the top five leagues in Europe.
While his Newfound Attack Skill is a large reverse, Rejinders is also dynamic and is rapidly distinguished for a pressure position when occupation is lost. His versatility also works to fill the central midfield positions with several gaps for a team.
Key State: In addition to its target-scoring proficiency, the success rate of 90% is impressive for a multi-purpose midfielder.
Connor Galagher25, Atletico Madrid
Transfer Price: € 40 m
After going from Chelsea to Atletico for € 42 meters in the last summer, Galagher made a little weak start in Laliga. In Diego Shimon’s brain he seems more useful than unavoidable and has been used mainly as a utility player, transfer between several midfield roles.
While it is difficult to find a roaming central midfielder to replace Silva, Galagher comes with similar characteristics: he has found energy bags, likes to get on the ball, is always available as a passing option, and active in both stages of the game.
What is more, he is a better fit for the wandering position of the guardian instead of Shimon’s rigorous principles. Repeating the goals and aid numbers of Silva should also be within the scope of the possibilities of Galagher.
Key State: While the attacker contribution of Gallaghar has been somewhat limited, he has put 2.8 tacks per 90 minutes.
Éderson25, Atalanta
Transfer Price: € 60 m
Perhaps at least all the candidates of the Guardiola-style players, éderson still provide some highly valuable features. He is more reliable than flash than individualist, and is of course a close replacement for the defensive midfielder Fernandeho (which was left in 2022) than the possibility of this heat departing from this heat.
The Brazil International will provide a solid appearance in the city midfield and while the Guardiola probably prefer a more creative player next to Rhodri, Atalanta midfielder is mobile, high, high on stamina, aware of position, and brings an additional layer of defensive strengthening.
Given the license to move forward, he is also able to score deep runs in the box (its leadership is a case in Milan in the last weekend) to affect the attacking side.
Key State: His six recovery per 90 minutes is an impressive number for a central midfielder who spends time at the end.
