🏆 10 English championship titles (6 in the last 9 seasons)
🥈 Last season – silver
👔 Coach – Enzo Maresca
💰 Top 3 most expensive players – Erling Haaland (~€200 million), Phil Foden (~€140 million), Elliot Anderson (~€110 million)
📥📤 Bernardo Silva (Real Madrid) and John Stones (Bayern Munich) – both free agents. The main acquisition – Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest for ~€135 million. The saga around Rodri continues – the club is negotiating with Real Madrid about his sale (~€75 million), but the deal is not yet closed.
👔 Maresca continues the positional philosophy familiar to the club under Guardiola, but adds his own accents – building attacks by holding the ball from deep and a flexible defensive structure, which he worked out at Chelsea.
📊 Manchester City enters the first post-Guardiola season as runners-up, looking to regain the title and prove stability without the legendary coach.
