Man City set for heavy player investment this summer says chairman
Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak says the club will sign 'high quality' players this summer.
Following the club's poor attempt to retain the Premier League title a summer of investment is necessary.
Last summer's transfer business underwhelmed, with key signings Eliaquim Mangala and Fernando looking out of their depth, making this year's incomings more significant.
Manuel Pellegrini looks set to stay on as manager and the club, who have been linked with Paul Pogba and Raheem Sterling, will crack on with acquiring some top talent.
Speaking in an interview with City TV to be published on Thursday, Khaldoon said: "We have a great nucleus here and we want to preserve this nucleus - but at the same time we want to go the next level.
"We want a squad that is able and has the capability and quality to win the Premier League, compete and win the Champions League, compete and be able to go all the way in two cup competitions in England.
"I think you will see some changes. You will see some players who have served us well and maybe it is time for them to move to their next challenge, and you will see us in the market bringing high-quality individuals that fit within what we are aspiring to coming in this summer.
"I can assure you the squad will be stronger, the team will be more competitive. I am both confident and excited about what is coming next year.
"I want the disappointment of last year behind me, behind us all. We have all turned the page. The energy right now is positive, the energy towards getting back on track, winning that Premier League and getting a better performance in the Champions League. This is absolutely what is driving all of us right now."
