As the January 2025 transfer window progresses, reports of the possible player targets for Pep Guardiola’s Man City have surfaced online.
Following a shaky conclusion to the first half of the 2024/2025 club football season for Man City, Pep Guardiola’s side is expected to take a deep dive into the January transfer window in search of top talents to bolster their squad ahead of the second half of the season when games are expected to come in thick and fast.
Reports have begun to emerge about the possible players Guardiola would be looking to bring in to strengthen his squad for the second half of the season.
Man City’s transfer news
According to the recent transfer news surrounding Man City, here are the players the Premier League champions are reportedly looking to bring in to strengthen their squad ahead of the season fixtures:
Bruno Guimaraes
What is the latest Bruno Guimaraes transfer news?
According to Sky Sports, Newcastle’s Bruno Guimaraes has emerged as one of the top player targets for Man City in the January 2025 transfer window following Pep admitting that they needed help in key positions one of which is the midfield in order to have a stable side.
Although there have been no reports of contract talks between the parties involved, it remains to be seen if Bruno’s parent club, Newcastle would be open to such a move. Analysts however believe it is practically impossible for Newcastle United to let go of such a key player who has been very influential in the 2024/2025 campaign in the Premier League.
Martin Zubimendi

Spanish midfielder Martin Zubimendi has also emerged as a leading candidate to fill in Man City’s midfield position which has been left vacant since the absence of Rodri. Reports have confirmed that the option of Zubimendi is also being considered in the case of Pep not acquiring the services of Bruno in the January 2025 transfer window.
It remains to be seen if this will be a temporary fix or a permanent solution going into the 2025/2026 club football season. It is also important to note that Martin is also on the radar of top clubs such as the 2024/2025 table toppers, Liverpool who are also looking to bolster their midfield as the season progresses.
Ola Aina
What is the latest Ola Aina transfer news?
It is no surprise that the Super Eagles of Nigeria defender Ola Aina is on Pep Guardiola’s radar in the January 2025 window. Reports in the latest transfer news about the talented player suggest that the champions might be looking to bring in the defender to fill the gap that exists on the right wing.
Ola Aina has evolved into a lethal player who drifts into the attack under Nuno Espirito for Nottingham Forest thereby becoming an integral part of the team. It is left to be seen if Forest who are currently third on the premier league table would be looking to deplete their squad in the second half of the season.
