Man City ready to spend in summer, says chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak

Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has said his side will return even stronger in their pursuit of the Champions League after their failure against Chelsea in the final.

Pep Guardiola

’s men won the Premier League title for the third time in four years as well as the fourth-successive Carabao Cup and also reached the Champions League final for the first time in the club’s history.

However, they suffered a 1-0 defeat to

Chelsea

and failed to win the European trophy and Al Mubarak says this is the moment to show they can push onto the next level.

“One of the things I’ve learned over the years is you constantly need to bring new talent into the team, refresh and particularly when you’re at a high level, on the top,”

Al Mubarak said

.

“Having won the league, it is not the time to sit back and be content. That would actually be your biggest mistake. This is the time to send a strong message that there’s no contentment, that you’re not satisfied with just winning the league.”

Manchester City

said goodbye to

Sergio Aguero

and

Eric Garcia

after the Champions League final defeat to Chelsea, with both players joining

Barcelona

on free transfers, and leaving the Sky Blues.

The Chairman revealed the Citizens will spend in the transfer window to sign a high-quality replacement for Sergio Aguero and to improve the squad.

“We lost a very important legend in Sergio Aguero, [they are] very hard shoes to fill but I’m confident we will find the right player to fill those shoes,” he said. “There are other areas within the team that obviously need investment, not too many. It’s not about numbers it’s about quality.

“The squad is a phenomenal squad, you don’t win the Premier League and reach the Champions League final if you don’t have an incredible squad and we have that. We will bring quality into the squad in a couple of key positions.”
