Manchester City will be active once again in the summer, moving some players on and doing what they can to strengthen the squad. Already, reports of potential signings are popping up - but which are fact and which are fiction?
However, speaking ahead of the Spurs game Guardiola mentioned the extra year remaining on his contract when he was talking about the backing that he gets from his bosses. "I couldn't be in a better place in terms of my chairman, CEO, sporting director," he said. Two year deal for Kroos? Talk is increasing in Spain that Real Madrid's midfield mainstay Toni Kroos will be moved on this summer as Jude Bellingham leads the new era which will likely include Kylian Mbappe at the Bernabeu. Luka Modric is in the same boat, as Real look to add the Champions League to their La Liga crown before two of their best ever midfielders could potentially depart.
On the other hand, however good Kroos is, would it be wise to hand out such an expensive two-year contract to a 34-year old? City were reluctant to give Ilkay Gundogan more than a year last summer when he was 32, but then softened their stance on only handing out one year deals to players over 30 when giving Kyle Walker a big extension.
Life at City can change very quickly and Stones knows that more than most, having been available for sale despite his wishes in the 2020 summer transfer window before forming an unbreakable partnership with Ruben Dias the following season when an opportunity popped up. City know his class and his chances will come, but he also has to have the patience and respect for his teammates to wait for that.
