Manchester City are making significant moves in the final days of the transfer window, aiming to bolster their attacking options. According to sources, the Premier League champions are on the verge of announcing the signing of Divin Mubama, with discussions also underway for a senior striker to provide cover for Erling Haaland.
The deal for Mubama is reportedly agreed upon, but the young forward will initially join City’s Under-21 squad, only training with the first team on occasion. Meanwhile, the search for a more experienced striker is intensifying. Following the sale of Julian Alvarez to Atlético Madrid earlier this summer, Pep Guardiola is keen to secure a backup for Haaland—someone reliable but who won’t demand a starting spot.
Haaland, who already has 100 appearances for City, opened his account for the season with a goal in their 2-0 victory over Chelsea. However, with injuries sidelining him for several games last season, the need for another forward option has become evident, especially as other young talents like Oscar Bobb and Savinho are currently injured.
City are expected to finalize these moves before the transfer window closes, ensuring they have the depth needed for the long season ahead. Keep an eye out for the official announcement of Mubama’s signing and possibly another forward addition soon.
