Manchester City open contract talks with Pep Guardiola about extending his deal
Manchester City are set to open talks with manager Pep Guardiola this summer about extending his contract after just one year at the Etihad Stadium. Despite a trophy-less debut campaign in England, Blues bosses are fully behind Pep and are showing that this summer by funding one of the most expensive spending sprees ever in order to give the Catalan a squad capable of challenging on all fronts. Guardiola only signed a three-year deal last year, but there is a feeling within City that he sees the job as a long-term project, explaining why he has requested so many young players, such as Gabriel Jesus, Leroy Sané, John Stones and Bernardo Silva.
And the belief within the Etihad corridors of power is that Pep will want to be in charge when his new-look side reaches its peak in four of fives years’ time. The Sunday Mirror reports that City hope to wrap up deals for Bernardo Silva’s former Monaco team-mates Benjamin Mendy and Fabinho, as well as Benfica goalkeeper Ederson Moraes. From the Premier League, Kyle Walker of Tottenham is said to be closing in on his expected move to City, while there is still interest in Arsenal superstar Alexis Sanchez, who it is claimed would prefer to join City over Bayern Munich. Mullock claims that the arrival of Bernardo Silva has not altered Pep’s determination to reunite with Alexis, who he worked with at Barcelona, and the thought of the 28-year-old linking up with City’s existing attacking options would terrify rivals. It isn’t just Guardiola who may be around for the long haul either, with chief executive Ferran Soriano purchasing a luxury home just off Deansgate in the city centre. It is clear that there is a long-term vision at Man City and club chiefs want Pep to spearhead it for a long time.

pep bought gundogan & bravo last season. this time, he has bought bernardo & moraes. hmm...
anyways a fresh young city is being shaped up. now its only toure & silva left who are above 30's.
hope bernardo is able to replicate el mago. moraes & bravo should do the trick.
if moraes is finalised that might be the end of hart.
pep should do something urgently about full-backs. with sagna, zaba & clichy out, there is practically no full-back for city now.
wonder why he is hanging on with kolarov. kompany's injuries are a concern. a central defender would be good too.
striker injuries are another concern. aguero & jesus lost lots of playing time last season. pep should get a poacher too.
David Silva has been voted the Etihad Airways Player of the Season ahead of Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne.
CMVM (Portuguese Market Regulator) have asked Benfica to send them information on Ederson's transfer to City by the end of the day.
Ederson arrived in Manchester on Monday afternoon and will undergo his Manchester City medical on Tuesday morning before signing his contract.

Kyle Walker (Spurs)

Benjamin Mendy (Monaco) - 90% interesting player
Leonardo Bonucci (Juve) - nearing 30's, still worth the money, whether he is willing, wil find after champions league final
Virgil van Djik (Southampton) - city just made the biggest bid (per medias), 50m+ 180k wages, a big risk but epl proven
Aymeric Laporte (Bilbao) - he is not at his best this season, above 60m is risk (lucas hernandez of ATM linked now)
Marquinhos (PSG) - PSG won't let him go easily, VVD is better epl experienced
Fabinho (Monaco) - Kyle walker at right, crowded midfield, united favorites to sign (rumors)
Alex sandro, lucas hernandez, william carvalho, djibril sidibe, rumors circulating
