Pep Guardiola decides to make stunning double Man City transfer immediately after FA Cup final defeat

Pep Guardiola could be preparing for a massive overhaul of his squad by singing two massive players in the wake of Manchester City's loss in the FA Cup final.

On Saturday afternoon, Crystal Palace produced the shock for the season as they sealed their first major trophy and secure a place in Europe for the first time since the club was established in 1861.

A goal from star player Eberechi Eze saw Oliver Glasner's side claim a 1-0 win over Manchester City at Wembley Stadium, winning the 2025 FA Cup.

The loss for Manchester City means that they will end the season without a trophy for the first time since the 2016-17 season, marking the end of what has been a surprisingly poor season.

But it appears that City are not prepared to let next season end the same way, as they are prepared to make two massive signings ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup next month.

According to The Mirror, City are willing to spend as much as £180million to secure the signings of Florian Wirtz and Tijjani Reijnders in the coming weeks.

The transfer window doesn't open for another two weeks, and yet it already seems as if the future of Bayer Leverkusen star Wirtz could be the biggest story of the summer.

Liverpool, Bayern Munich and City appear to be the front runners for the highly-rated German international, but they will have to pay up as Leverkusen are demanding £100m+ to let Wirtz go.

However, this price tag is reportedly not an issue for City, who would be open to offering a deal involving midfielder James McAtee in order to get the deal done as soon as possible.

City value currently McAtee, who has made 27 appearances in all competitions this season, at £25m, meaning he could significantly reduce the cost of Wirtz should Leverkusen be interested.

Meanwhile AC Milan have made it clear that, in order to faciliate a transfer for Reijnders this summer, they will expect a club-record fee of £56.3m or more.

Reijnders, 26, signed a new five-year contract with Milan in March, meaning that unless the Italian side are happy with an offer made by City, they will happily hold onto their star playmaker.
