Manchester City ended the 2022/23 season in historic style as Pep Guardiola's side secured a Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League treble.

City face a battle to retain all three titles in the next 12 months with Guardiola expected to strengthen his squad in the coming weeks.

The departure of captain Ilkay Gundogan is a major change in Guardiola's plans as the Germany international accepted a free transfe to Barcelona, with Mateo Kovacic arriving from Chelsea, alongside a huge transfer move to Josko Gvardiol from RB Leipzig.

The Sporting News looks at the Manchester City players contracted for the 2023/24 season.

Guardiola spent over £250 million in the last two summer transfer markets, as part of his winning machine at the Etihad Stadium, with Jack Grealish, Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland among the new arrivals since 2021

Gundogan's exit has freed up a space in Guardiola's midfield and the moves for Kovacic and Gvardiol bring City over the £100m mark.

How Man City were built

Guardiola continues to evolve his team each year, with Haaland's arrival easing in a bold 3-2-4-1 tactical system as the Norwegian scored 52 club goals in his debut season.

However, there are some key cornerstones of Guardiola's team, with Ederson, Kyle Walker and Bernardo Silva entering their seventh campaign in Manchester, alongside Kevin De Bruyne, who joined in 2015.
