Matheus Nunes is set to remain Manchester City's first-choice right-back, as the club's recruitment team seeks to add a specialized young full-back to support him. Incoming manager Enzo Maresca aims to enhance squad depth rather than initiate an overhaul after a successful season. Nunes’ transition to right-back has proven effective in providing the team with reliability and dynamism. The club’s focus on young prospects aims to avoid high fees for established players and maintain competitive energy within the squad. A finalized roster is expected before the team's pre-season tour in Asia.
