After CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport) decision to overturn UEFA’s decision to ban Manchester City which would prevent the club of playing in UEFA competitions for 2 years, the panorama at the Etihad took a big change. Many questioned whether the club was able to hold its biggest stars. But after yesterday’s decision, the Cityzens are once again a force to be reckoned in the next transfer window.

Kalidou Koulibaly

Kalidou Koulibaly is one of the most desired centre-backs in the world. He is 29 and one of the biggest Napoli stars. The sign of the powerful defender could be a big asset for the Citizens. Together with Aymeric Laporte, Manchester City would build a very talented and experience double.

Harry Kane

Harry Kane will turn 27 this summer. He is one of the best players in the Premier League, but with Tottenham, he is far from winning major trophies. With the Spurs, he was close to winning the Champions League, but the title ended up in Liverpool’s hands. The lack of titles could force the English striker to make decisions and that could mean a club change. In Manchester, City is patiently waiting for the right moment to attack…
