This week has been a hectic week in terms of transfer rumours surrounding Manchester City. Jack Gaughan has reported that Tottenham are set to return with an improved bid for Savinho. If that move comes together, City will likely pursue a move for Real Madrid winger Rodrygo. Ederson could be set to join Galatasaray. If that moves happens, City look set to pounce for PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. All four of those stories have dominated this week’s headlines.
But despite the possibility of the closing stages of the transfer window being busy for Manchester City, a new season begins for Pep Guardiola’s side this weekend. This season, there is a fresh look to the City squad and their prospects for success. That is an exciting prospect to ponder ahead of the 25/26 season kicking off.
Manchester City kick off their 25/26 Premier League campaign with a trip to Molineux to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers. Pep Guardiola’s squad has a different look to it with new signings and a sense of optimism that surrounds City’s chances this season. New coaches such as Pep Lijnders give Pep Guardiola a new source of ideas to tap into. That’s one reason for optimism and excitement ahead of a new campaign. There are plenty more based on Manchester City’s summer transfer business and the prospect of key players bouncing back from injury interrupted and disappointing 24/25 seasons.
If the 24/25 season was the end of an era at City, the 25/26 season does represent a new beginning. There seems to be a different vibe to Pep Guardiola’s side this season. New players and coaches bring new energy, and Pep Guardiola seems revitalised for the challenge ahead. If his enthusiasm rubs off on his players, Manchester City have the talent and drive to put last season’s disappointment behind them quickly.
This weekend sees Manchester City take on Wolverhampton Wanderers to begin the 25/26 season. That is the first step that will be taken in City’s new era. Wolves can be a tricky opponent on their day, especially at Molineux. While the thought of what City could achieve this season is a tantalising one, the first step of that journey will be taken on Saturday.
The game won’t answer any of the questions that surround Pep Guardiola’s side this season, but it will provide a glimpse of what could lie ahead. Pep Guardiola’s side will be hoping to pick up all three points against Wolves. That would be the ideal beginning to a season that promises so much for Manchester City.
