Recent treble winners Manchester City have been one of the more quiet sides this summer across what has already been a much-talked-about transfer period despite becoming the dominant force on both the English and European footballing landscape.
Now that Pep Guardiola has achieved what City has truly set itself out to do under the ownership of Sheikh Mansour and the leadership of chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak, how the club plan to keep itself at the top of the continental pile will now be the order of the day in the northwest of England.
Rumors of a possible move for Croatian international star Mateo Kovačić continue to circulate, but one deal that could also soon be struct is the extension of veteran England defender Kyle Walker.

Reports from football insider Fabrizio Romano detail City and Walker coming back to the table to negotiate a possible extension regardless of German giants Bayern Munich circling around the Sheffield-born full-back who was largely expected to leave the club this summer on the best possible high.
The Bavarian outfit is likely to be dealing with a reality that includes the summer departure of French international Benjamin Pavard, with Moroccan full-back Noussair Mazraoui also possibly headed out of Säbener Straße, leaving the club with holes to plug on the right side of the back four under Thomas Tuchel.
