"Pep said he will not sign anyone, but he will pay 115 million for a centre-back"

"City coach, Pep Guardiola, said that he would not spend any money in the winter market, but I believe it is obvious that he will pay up to 115 million euros for a centre-back as soon as he has the chance," Aldridge thought in statements collected by 'AS'.

The former Liverpool player believes that if they want to be at the top of the standings at the end of the season, City have no choice but to sign. "Guardiola knows that his defence isn't good enough to win the Premier League," he continued.

The season has only just begun, but the big teams are already defining their tactics for the winter market. Clubs such as City or United believe that they must improve their defence and could make a big signing in January.

Aldridge thinks that, no matter what Guardiola says, there will be reinforcements in the next market, Manchester City could spend more than 100 million to set up and unbeatable defence in their team.
