GOAL rounds up all the completed Chelsea transfers in the 2023-24 season so far.
Pep Guardiola's Manchester City were crowned the Premier League champions for the third time running at the end of the 2022-23 season, while also lifting the FA Cup and Champions League trophies to add their name to a select group of treble winners.
The signing of Erling Haaland proved key to City's success as the Norwegian striker bashed all Premier League goalscoring records, guiding his team to an incredibly successful season. Ahead of the 2023-24 campaign, Guardiola might have to make some big changes to his squad, with the likes of Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva tipped to leave. Both midfielders have proved to be influential cogs in the City manager's midfield and he'll have to find replacements if the experienced campaigners were indeed to leave.
Aymeric Laporte is another name tipped to leave Manchester City and the reigning Premier League champions have identified his replacement as Josko Gvardiol from RB Leipzig. Guardiola would be hoping to lure him to Manchester to bolster his defensive line before the start of the new campaign. GOAL has got you covered with all the completed Manchester City transfers in the ongoing 2023-24 season below.
Having won a historic treble in 2022-23, Guardiola could make some changes to his side to solidify their dominance in England and in Europe. Signing a midfielder would be the first task for Guardiola if either of Gundogan or Silva decide to leave the club. For now, though, the City boss has only seen loan stars return to the Etihad after temporary spells elsewhere.
Bernardo Silva and Riyad Mahrez have also been rumoured to consider leaving the Manchester-based club after serving for multiple years, while Aymeric Laporte is another name who could depart the Etihad after being left short of minutes after the emergence of Dias and Stones. However, as of yet, the only confirmed departure is that of long-serving captain Ilkay Gundogan, who left the Etihad to join Barcelona on a free transfer after leading Manchester City to a historic treble this past season.
