Maresca plans major transfers at City
The European football transfer market is entering a season of major moves and unexpected changes. Italian tactician Enzo Maresca, expected to take charge of Manchester City, will play a leading role in the club's summer transfer plans. According to the reputable talkSPORT report, the arrival of the new manager will trigger a fresh strategy to strengthen the squad for the 'Cityzens'.
Which positions does City want to strengthen?
Currently, the Manchester club's recruitment department has set the primary goal of filling two critical gaps in the team. These are: right-back and the center of the pitch, specifically central midfield positions. The club's leadership is working to inject new blood and young talent into these lines.
Three star transfer targets
According to Maresca's project, the following skilled players are seen as Manchester City's main transfer targets this summer:
Enzo Fernández (Chelsea): Maresca is very keen to bring his former pupil, the famous central midfielder shining for the 'Blues', into his team.
Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest): Another candidate to bolster the midfield is this talented player who has been showing excellent form for the 'Tricky Trees'.
Valentino Livramento (Newcastle): To solve the problem at right-back and increase competition, the active flank player of the 'Magpies' has become a top target for City.
A familiar team for Maresca
It is worth noting that Enzo Maresca is no stranger to the Manchester City system and philosophy. During the historic 2022/23 season, he served as an assistant to Pep Guardiola and contributed to the team's 'treble'.
His last job was at London club Chelsea. The specialist managed the capital side successfully from the summer of 2024 until January 2026. Now, he is on the verge of returning to Manchester as head coach with vast experience and new ideas.
Do you think Maresca will succeed in bringing his former pupil Enzo Fernández to Manchester City?
