Manchester City have just one week before the start of their 2024/25 campaign but manager Pep Guardiola is likely far from done in this summer’s transfer window.

As the winners of four straight Premier League titles, it’s obvious that there are not many places in their squad that they can ‘upgrade’, that fact highlighted by the singular addition to the squad so far being £25m winger Savinho who featured against rivals Manchester United in the Community Shield over the weekend.

The Citizens have had to worry about a number of their stars potentially leaving however, with Kevin De Bruyne and Ederson both under threat from mega-money offers from the Saudi Pro League. Despite those links, both stars look set to stay at the Etihad Stadium.

However, exits for Joao Cancelo, who has long been of interest to Barcelona after spending last season out on loan at the Nou Camp, as well as Julian Alvarez look to be cemented. The Argentinian forward is set for an enormous move to Atletico Madrid which is said to be worth around £82m.

That money will no doubt go towards getting a new attacking threat for Guardiola to utilise alongside last season’s top goalscorer Erling Haaland and CoinPoker.com have enlisted the help of AI to determine just who City could go after this summer.

Combining the likes of ChatGPT, Gemini and Bing AI, a prediction was formulated by artificial intelligence (AI) on who the next big name signing in the Premier League will be this summer transfer window, and it believes Manchester City could line up a stunning late move for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic.

The star, who is currently valued at £55m by transfermarkt, joined Juventus from Fiorentina two years ago in a £66m deal in the January transfer window after breaking through in an impressive 21-goal season the year prior.

Since then though, the Serbian has failed to truly hit the ground running amid injury issues, scoring just 26 Serie A goals over the past two campaigns combined. Nevertheless, the AI believes that Vlahovic could make waves in the Premier League with City although he’d likely be playing in a similar role to that of Alvarez with Haaland continuing to lead the line up front.
