Manchester City's European ban was quashed on appeal, so it's back to business for the club. Pep Guardiola's team will now be able to participate in the next two editions of the Champions League, a competition they dream of lifting this year as well.
And it's not an impossible dream, as the team defeated Real Madrid the Santiago Bernabeu by 1-2 thanks to Gabriel Jesus and Kevin de Bruyne's goals, which means they have to repeat such a peformance next August 7 in search of the quarterfinals.
According to the Guardian and the Daily Mail, getting rid of UEFA's sanction could mean the club could use 170 million euros to be able to reinforce the team with summer transfers.
These reinforcements will come to complement De Bruyne, Sterling and company, candidates to extend their contracts with club in the coming weeks. In addition, the source already mentioned ensure that Pep Guardiola himself could be another of the winners with the extension of the link.
City's agenda already includes names such as Bayern Munich's David Alaba, Kalidou Koulibaly, Ferran Torres and Lautaro Martinez of, although the Argentine is one of the most complicated signings, given Barcelona's long-rumoured interest. Finding the ideal replacement for Leroy Sané, who has left for Bayern, is also key.
Koulibaly has been consitently linked with City in the past, and he is one of the most sought-after players in Europe, with the English reportedly prepared to swap the Senegalese for two of their own players, according to 'The Sun'.
