On the 12th (Korea time), The Sun said 'Man City is planning to recruit defensive midfielders in the January transfer market'
Manchester City, which is trying to win its first five consecutive games, is in the worst crisis. It lost to Brighton 1-2 in a row, marking its fourth consecutive official loss. The last time Manchester City lost four games in a row was in 2006 before Sheikh Mansour took over the club. It is also the first four consecutive losses in Pep Guardiola's career history.
As expected, the absence of Rodri 'Ballon d'Or WINNER' is crucial. Rodri is at the heart of Manchester City. The difference in results fluctuates depending on whether he is present or not. Rodri collapsed last September with an injury. It was actually a season out. Rodri has won the Ballon d'Or in the meantime and has been recognized for his efforts, but Manchester City have recently realized Rodri's absence.
Guardiola used Matteo Kovacic and others to fill the vacancy, but it is not enough. Eventually, he found a new player and set a target. Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Subimendi.

Subimendi got the attention of English clubs. Liverpool, which wanted to reinforce its midfield last summer, was active in recruiting Subimendi. He expressed his intention to pay until the buyout, but he failed to achieve his goal with Real Sociedad, especially Subimendi. Arsenal were also interested in signing Subimendi, but turned to Mikel Merino.
Manchester City has newly entered the bid to recruit Subimendi. Man City plan to pay £50.3m for Subimendi's buyout. According to The Sun, the most important thing, Subimendi's mind is also changing. Football Insider says 'Guardiola is known to be a big fan of Subimendi, and a player may also consider the opportunity to work under a legendary coach as a potential attraction. I have faith in Manchester City that I can convince him.
