Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour, who experienced unfamiliar failures last season, opened his wallet with determination.
Manchester City invested more than 100 million pounds (about 185 billion won) during the special transfer market for the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025, bringing in a total of 4 players 'storm'. It is a remarkable transfer move compared to any other European club. For three days from the 10th to the 12th, Wolverhampton full-back Rayan Ait-Nuri (24), Chelsea goalkeeper Marcus Betinelli (33), Olympique Lyon playmaker Rayan Sherki (22), and AC Milan midfielder Tijani Randerers (27). After appointing Ugu Viana, who was born in 1983 'Young Sports Director' this summer, the reorganization of the team seems to be in full swing.
Former Hwang Hee-chan's teammate ', who shares the same team with striker Omar Marmusi from the same Algerian national team, will move to Manchester City for a transfer fee of 31 million pounds (about 57 billion won) and play the role of 'traditional left-back', which has been a long-standing concern for Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.
Sherkey invested £30.5 million (about 56 billion won) by Manchester City with a technique that will add to the creativity that has been lacking due to the sluggishness of Phil Foden and Jack Grealish and Kevin De Bruyne's departure. Thierry Henry called Sherkie the `fastest dribbling player I've ever seen.'
The Dutch national team's flagship Rinders, an Indonesian bloodline, is a resource recruited by Post-Ilkay Gündogan. Along with Rodri, a defensive midfielder from the Ballon d'Or who returned from a long-term injury, he will be in charge of the 'Makgang Jungwon'. Manchester City poured in 46.6 million pounds (about 86 billion won), the highest transfer fee among players recruited in the transfer market this summer.

Manchester City, which missed out on winning all competitions in the 2024-2025 season due to the 'all-time slump', aims to challenge hegemony again with a younger squad next season. In line with this, he appointed former Salzburg coach Pep Reinders, who assisted former Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp to support Liverpool's Champions League and Premier League wins, and likewise recruited set piece expert James French, who worked in Liverpool.

Manchester City's announced squad (27 players) for the Club World Cup on the 12th included Ait-Nuri, Randerers and Sherki. Their temporary uniform numbers are 21, 4, and 29, respectively.
Grealish, who is headed to the end of his contract 'Living Legends' Kevin De Bruyne and increasingly 'EatingToo' until June 30, has been ruled out of the squad. Guardiola will fly to the U.S., the host, and play three consecutive Group G games against Widad on the 18th, Al Ain on the 22nd, and Juventus on the 26th.
