We are less than a week away as the transfer window kicks open! While teams will be keen to bolster their ranks, everyone should expect Saudi Arabian clubs to flaunt their fat wad of cash. The Middle Eastern clubs have become a driving force in the market, with players joining the Saudi Pro League for an inflated paycheck! Well, it seems like the league already has two new transfer targets on their mind as they turn their attention to reigning Premier League champions Manchester City.

According to reports, the Middle Eastern outfits are keen on securing the services of Sky Blues skipper Kyle Walker and midfielder Matheus Nunes. Walker signed a contract extension last summer and is a solid part of the team lineup. However, Nunes could be a big shout as the player has struggled for game time under Pep Guardiola. Manchester City’s first-choice goalkeeper Ederson has also attracted interest from Saudi Arabia, with the Cityzens open to cash in for a hefty offer.

With the future of so many players on the line, Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola addressed the media last night. While the Spaniard claimed Manchester City is confident of keeping hold of their players, he wants his men to make a clear stance before the upcoming season.

Pep Guardiola makes things crystal clear for Manchester City stars

While the Cityzens have been enjoying their historic 4th consecutive Premier League title, the team already needs to keep an eye on the upcoming season. With multiple Manchester City players expected to move past the Etihad come summer, Pep Guardiola had a coherent message for his players.

Following the Premier League title parade, Guardiola stated, “I don’t know what is going to happen, but I know some Manchester City players have to take a decision on whether they stay with us, and some players might come. My sporting director says everything is fine for next year.”

It will be interesting to see which players decide to leave Manchester City come summer. Reports suggest Ederson and Bernardo Silva could be on their way out, with multiple clubs keen on acquiring their signatures. Meanwhile, the futures of Kevin De Bruyne, Kyle Walker, and Matheus Nunes will be in the air considering the uncertainty over their situation. Whatever, the case I’d just you enjoy the transfer market with a bucket of popcorn or your fingernails if you are one of the Sky Blues!
