Manchester City is set to implement a major transformation of its squad by cutting the wage bill this summer. After a challenging season with injuries and performance issues, the club aims to replace aging players. High-profile exits like Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, and Ederson are expected. City will seek to recruit four to five new players with lower wage demands. Key targets include Florian Wirtz, Diogo Costa, and Morgan Gibbs-White, focusing on crucial positions such as goalkeeper and creative midfielder.
Manchester City are planning to cut their wage bill this summer as they continue to overhaul an ageing squad.
City have come to the end of a cycle and started the transformation of their experienced squad during the winter transfer window.
According to The Athletic, City are planning to trim the wage bill with such exits and while they're still aiming to recruit "four or five new players" this summer.
For example, Florian Wirtz is a realistic target for the club this summer, but even the superstar German's expected salary wouldn't match the approximately 400,000 per week currently being spent on De Bruyne.
