Manchester City may have already spent over £80million on signing Fernandinho, Jesus Navas, Alvaro Negredo and Stevan Jovetic this transfer season, but the club's boss Manuel Pellegrini says his squad is still not complete.
City, who lost the EPL title to Manchester United last season apart from losing the FA Cup final to Wigan Athletic, have been very active in the pre-season transfer market. The club also sacked Roberto Mancini as manager and replaced him with Pellegrini, who wants to add more players to the squad.
"The club has spent money on important players, like Stevan and Negredo," Pellegrini was quoted as saying by sportinglife.com. "But we must remind you that last year there was Balotelli and Tevez, so we had to replace two very good players with another two very good players. So, we have the month of July and some days of August to finish the squad completely. It's not absolutely complete, but it's very near to being complete."
But the City boss stopped short of naming players who interest him despite being linked to Real Madrid defender Pepe. "I don't speak about rumours. I think today we have the players we need here. I just said that we will see what happens in this month and during August. I'm not talking about specific names because it's not better for us, so I don't talk about Pepe or any other names," Pellegrini said.
