Pep Guardiola has a five-player wishlist to improve his Manchester City side as the January transfer window approaches. The Catalan coach is undergoing an unprecedented run of bad form at City having won just once in 13 games. The Premier League champions have slipped to seventh in the table, 14 points behind league-leaders Liverpool.
Guardiola would be keen to see new players arrive after the turn of the year if the club's position allows. The Citizens have seen a number of defensive injuries while Rodri has been unavailable for most of the season. "If we can we have to add players, definitely," he told Amazon Prime Video before being pressed on which positions needed strengthening. "We struggle especially at the back, in the middle," he added.
"I don't know if it's going to happen. I think we have to but I don't know if it's going to happen. The transfer window in winter is not easy.". Martín Zubimendi, Bruno Guimaraes, Jamal Musiala, Florian Wirtz, Marc Guehi are all under consideration, according to The Times. Zubimendi and Guimaraes would offer City greater help in the centre of midfield to cover for Rodri's absence.
Guardiola's side have been linked to both players previously but the latter is likely to prove prohibitively expensive such is his importance to Newcastle, while Zubimendi chose to reject a move to Liverpool in the summer in favour of staying at Real Sociedad.
