Manchester City to seek midfield reinforcement in January transfer window

Manchester City are reportedly seeking midfield reinforcements in the upcoming January transfer window following a concerning dip in form.

Pep Guardiola’s side have endured an unprecedented five-game losing streak, with the absence of Ballon d’Or winner Rodri Hernandez appearing to have a significant impact on their performances.

Transfer insider Matteo Moretto of Relevo reports that City are actively scouting potential midfield targets.

While top clubs typically avoid making major moves in the winter market, City’s struggles have prompted them to act.

One name that has been linked with the club is Martin Zubimendi of Real Sociedad.

The Spanish midfielder has previously been linked with a move to the Etihad, but his recent public commitment to Sociedad might complicate any potential deal.

The injuries plaguing City this season have highlighted the team’s heavy reliance on Rodri, whose absence has coincided with their worst run under Guardiola.

While the club boasts considerable depth, finding a midfielder who can seamlessly fit into Guardiola’s system will be crucial if City are to turn their season around.
