Pep Guardiola remains characteristically noncommittal as Manchester City approach the final stretch of the summer transfer window. Asked about City’s chances of making further signings, the manager gave a measured response: “We will see. We have one week with the club. We talk with the players, agents. We will see.”

That came after City’s 2–0 defeat to Tottenham, which exposed fragilities in the team—particularly in defense and in goalkeeping. Under discussion is the future of veteran goalkeeper Ederson, who has been linked with a move to Turkey’s Galatasaray. Guardiola’s remarks reflect an ongoing balancing act between potential arrivals and departures, with decisions expected in the coming days.

Guardiola’s response underscores both patience and pragmatism. Acknowledging that dialogue continues with club executives and player representatives, his stance suggests that any final moves will be guided by both tactical need and timing, rather than impulse.

City are known to be managing an oversized squad, a concern Guardiola has previously voiced. He stressed that keeping a trim, focused group is important for maintaining morale and competitiveness.

This window has already seen notable departures and arrivals. But whether City will push for marquee signings—perhaps to reinforce key positions such as goalkeeper—remains uncertain. Guardiola’s ultimate phrase—“We will see”—captures the ambiguity of the moment.

With less than a week before the deadline, fans and pundits alike await clarity. Will City remain active, or will the club opt to work with what they have? Guardiola’s words imply that the next few days will be decisive, and that patience is very much part of the plan.
