Welcoming Haaland, replacing Fernandinho and reshaping squad: Man City set for busy summer


  • English
  • Arabic

Barely had the final piece of street furniture been dismantled, the last of the litter swept away, and the players’ vacation aeroplane vapour trails disappeared, before the Manchester City brains' trust was back around the table plotting more success.

Hours after City had clinched the Premier League title in such dramatic style with a 3-2 come-from-behind win over Aston Villa they began eyeing more silverware and squad changes.

A relentless desire to win matches and trophies has characterised Sheikh Mansour’s majority ownership for more than a dozen years and never more so than in the Pep Guardiola era.

However, four Premier League titles in the last five years, twice back-to-back winners, has not yet sated that drive for more trophies.

Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak, in his annual end of season interview conducted in Abu Dhabi, confirmed that a short time had been set aside for celebrations before it was back to the business of improving the already glittering resources at the disposal of their storied Catalan coach.

Some pressing matters have been addressed already with the signing of two forwards to finally fill the boots of all-time great Sergio Aguero, who departed at the end of the 2020/21 season.

In from the Bundesliga has come Erling Haaland, the prolific young Norwegian striker who is tipped to become one of football's next global superstars, and joining him in the revamped forward line will be Julian Alvarez from River Plate in Argentina.

Now firmly established in his national team Alvarez, at 22 a year older than Haaland, recently scored a hat-trick in each half as his club thrashed Peru’s top team, Lima, in the Copa Libertadores.

Next up will, in all likelihood, be the replacing of the captain, Fernandinho, who has decided to end his playing days back in his homeland of Brazil. The 37-year-old midfielder took five Premier League winners’ medals back to Londrina along with five from the League Cup and one from the FA Cup.

Fernandinho's most likely replacement will be Kalvin Phillips, the Leeds United and England defensive midfielder. City are in discussions with Leeds who will use the cash generated to finance a rebuild of their own after narrowly avoiding relegation this season.

Phillips, who will be pushing for inclusion in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the World Cup in Qatar later this year, knows he will have to share defensive midfield duties with current first choice Rodri. The Spain international was arguably the most improved player at City this season and became a firm fan favourite.

Question marks remain around several of Guardiola’s established squad as he prepares what will be the third iteration of his winning machine at the Etihad.

Ilkay Gundogan, Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez are all, like the manager himself, in the final year of their contracts at City and each will have their suitors this summer. However, Brazil striker Gabriel Jesus is most likely to move on, with Arsenal at the head of the queue.

Oleksandr Zinchenko, the Ukraine international midfielder who has mostly operated as a left back for City, is also interesting Arsenal and has previously had admirers at Wolves and Everton.

Guardiola will be in the market for a defender if either Zinchenko or Nathan Ake decide they want to move on and seek more game time. Brighton’s left back Marc Cucurella will be atop the replacement list should one of them move on or if City decide they need more resources in that area.

The champions will also be looking to tie down some of their star names to new deals. Top of that list will be England international Phil Foden who at the age of 22 has just received his fourth Premier League winners medal. Talks on his long-term future and a wage rise began during the season and should be concluded before the next one starts. Rodri, who is out of contract in 2024, is also likely to be offered a new deal.

Established stars in City’s squad will have competition from within as Academy products Cole Palmer, James McAtee, Liam Delap, and Luke Mbete continue to spearhead the youthful revolution alongside Haaland and Alvarez.

All will be given a chance on the pre-season tour to the United States where City play Club America in the NRG Stadium, in Houston, Texas on July 21, and Bayern Munich at the Green Bay Packers’ Lambeau Field in Wisconsin on July 23.

Guardiola will decide later in the autumn who he might want to loan out - if any - for them to gain more experience.

City will also have a new captain next season after Fernandinho’s departure. The players themselves will elect five ‘captains’ and from that a captain of captains will emerge. Kevin De Bruyne and Ruben Dias are two of the most likely candidates to take the armband most regularly.

Ten tax points to be aware of in 2026

1. Domestic VAT refund amendments: request your refund within five years

If a business does not apply for the refund on time, they lose their credit.

2. E-invoicing in the UAE

Businesses should continue preparing for the implementation of e-invoicing in the UAE, with 2026 a preparation and transition period ahead of phased mandatory adoption. 

3. More tax audits

Tax authorities are increasingly using data already available across multiple filings to identify audit risks. 

4. More beneficial VAT and excise tax penalty regime

Tax disputes are expected to become more frequent and more structured, with clearer administrative objection and appeal processes. The UAE has adopted a new penalty regime for VAT and excise disputes, which now mirrors the penalty regime for corporate tax.

5. Greater emphasis on statutory audit

There is a greater need for the accuracy of financial statements. The International Financial Reporting Standards standards need to be strictly adhered to and, as a result, the quality of the audits will need to increase.

6. Further transfer pricing enforcement

Transfer pricing enforcement, which refers to the practice of establishing prices for internal transactions between related entities, is expected to broaden in scope. The UAE will shortly open the possibility to negotiate advance pricing agreements, or essentially rulings for transfer pricing purposes. 

7. Limited time periods for audits

Recent amendments also introduce a default five-year limitation period for tax audits and assessments, subject to specific statutory exceptions. While the standard audit and assessment period is five years, this may be extended to up to 15 years in cases involving fraud or tax evasion. 

8. Pillar 2 implementation 

Many multinational groups will begin to feel the practical effect of the Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (DMTT), the UAE's implementation of the OECD’s global minimum tax under Pillar 2. While the rules apply for financial years starting on or after January 1, 2025, it is 2026 that marks the transition to an operational phase.

9. Reduced compliance obligations for imported goods and services

Businesses that apply the reverse-charge mechanism for VAT purposes in the UAE may benefit from reduced compliance obligations. 

10. Substance and CbC reporting focus

Tax authorities are expected to continue strengthening the enforcement of economic substance and Country-by-Country (CbC) reporting frameworks. In the UAE, these regimes are increasingly being used as risk-assessment tools, providing tax authorities with a comprehensive view of multinational groups’ global footprints and enabling them to assess whether profits are aligned with real economic activity.

Stormy seas

Weather warnings show that Storm Eunice is soon to make landfall. The videographer and I are scrambling to return to the other side of the Channel before it does. As we race to the port of Calais, I see miles of wire fencing topped with barbed wire all around it, a silent ‘Keep Out’ sign for those who, unlike us, aren’t lucky enough to have the right to move freely and safely across borders.
