Having completed the signing of Erling Haaland, Pep Guardiola will now be looking to move on to other targets as he looks to take Manchester City one step further next season.
Strength in depth has been vital in modern football for a number of years now with match congestion proving to be a real issue for Europe's elite clubs. Following the release of City's schedule for next season, it has become more apparent than ever that the Blues will need a strong squad to be successful again.
The unprecedented winter World Cup in Qatar will put the Premier League season on pause in November before resuming again on Boxing Day. After the tournament, it will be likely that many of Pep's men will be suffering fatigue due to the extra matches which will have been played in the heat of the Middle East.
