Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has spoken about the upcoming summer transfer window and the club’s planning for it. He stated that there will be no surprises since the club have been consistent in their approach.

He revealed that the Etihad outfit are aware of their requirements and scout as early as possible after conversations with the manager and the director. As a result, they know the players that they have to sign before the season even ends.

“There is no surprises, the way we approach every pre-season is consistent. We know our requirements early on. We start our scouting very early. We start our conversations between the football director, the manager. We start our budgeting project early.

“Before the season is over we know exactly what we need. We’ve already starting planning and we’ve already made the necessary approaches.”
