Just In: Guardiola reveals factors that will determine Man City’s January transfer activity

Key Takeaway: Pep Guardiola says Manchester City’s decision to make moves in the January transfer window will depend heavily on the team’s position in the Premier League at that time.

Details: After a tough run of four straight Premier League losses and seven games without a win across all competitions, Manchester City grabbed a much-needed 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest last night… December 25, 2024.

Despite the win, Guardiola is cautious about the club’s transfer plans, suggesting that any signings will depend on how the team is performing when January comes.

Citations & Quotes: “Will we buy new players in January? We’ll talk about it when January comes. It will depend on the team’s standing at that moment,” Guardiola said, as reported by insider Fabrizio Romano.

Keep in mind: While the win over Nottingham Forest is a positive sign, City is still 11 points behind Liverpool at the top of the table. Only once in Premier League history has a team come back from an 11-point deficit to win the title—Manchester United in 1995-96.
