Maresca acknowledges Man City needs more signings before transfer deadline
Summary

Enzo Maresca, the Manchester City boss, indicated that the team 'probably' requires additional signings within the next five days as the transfer window approaches its end. City is currently short in midfield following high-profile exits, including Bernardo Silva and Rodri. Maresca mentioned the need for a deeper squad, especially given the team's demanding schedule of up to 65 matches this season. The club has recently acquired teenager Ayyoub Bouaddi and is exploring further reinforcements, a potential offer for Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez. Additionally, another forward is on the list, with an agreement reportedly in place for Palmeiras winger Allan Elias.
