Manchester City have narrowed down their top transfer targets as the former Premier League champions look to reclaim their crown next season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was a dreadful Premier League campaign by Manchester City’s incredibly high standards.<\/p>\n

Having won six of the previous seven titles, including four in a row, City had to watch as a resurgent Liverpool took the title at a canter this season.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola’s side started well, but a torrid midseason slump cost them dearly.<\/p>\n

A run of one win in ten games across all competitions saw them briefly fall out of the European qualification places altogether.<\/p>\n

City rallied in the new year, eventually recovering to finish third behind champions Liverpool and Arsenal.<\/p>\n

But with such high expectations, such a season cannot be allowed to happen again.<\/p>\n

For that reason, Guardiola is targeting several new additions to bolster his ranks this summer.<\/p>\n

\n

One of his most difficult seasons as manager of Manchester City, one filled with injuries and inconsistency, yet he's led his side to a third place finish in the league and a full transfer window ahead.<\/p>\n
