Man City Undertakes £300M Squad Overhaul After Disappointing Season

Following a disappointing 2024–25 season where Manchester City finished 13 points behind Liverpool, Phil Foden has acknowledged the necessity of the club's extensive squad overhaul led by Pep Guardiola. The club invested nearly £300 million across summer and winter transfer windows, bringing in 10 new players including Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Cherki, and James Trafford to revitalize the team. Foden praised the quality and quick integration of the new signings, emphasizing that fresh legs and talent were essential to address the shortcomings of the previous season. With club veterans Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker departing, Foden and other players face increased responsibility to elevate the team's performance. Despite a poor showing at the FIFA Club World Cup, Foden expressed optimism about the squad's potential and his personal goal to regain his top form. The rebuild aims to restore Manchester City's competitiveness and reclaim major titles under Guardiola's management.
