Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola doesn't want their summer business to begin and end with Erling Haaland.

City have already added striker Haaland to the ranks of their world-class players for next season, but Guardiola is looking for even more, if Financial Fair Play restrictions mean City can't overpay for players.

Top of the wishlist is a specialist left back and a holding midfielder to replace the departing Fernandinho.

"I know they are working on that and always thinking," Guardiola said. "I am not saying it is going to happen, but they have a plan to see what can happen. There are many incredible players around the world who could fit in and play here, without a doubt.

"The world is so big, a thousand million teams and top talented players as long as they have the special mentality of wanting to win again and again.

"Every day, never satisfied. The biggest is to find that. Everything is in the head. Every action comes from there."

Guardiola has worked hard to rebuild City after the departures of Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompany and David Silva, and is on the verge of the 10th league championship of his career, having also won three each with Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

"You can never sit back and think you've got a young squad that can stay together for five or six years. It doesn't happen," he said.

"Situations change season by season because players want to play and be happy. If they have the perception they won't play, so they have to leave and be replaced.

"The club always has to look ahead. If five players leave the club you have to identify who would be the next five new players, or which players from the academy can be part of it like Phil Foden.

"These things have to be considered constantly."
