Manchester City captain Ruben Dias says the club's summer acquisitions are motivated to succeed under new manager Enzo Maresca. The squad is transitioning following the departure of former manager Pep Guardiola and several long-term players, including Rodri, Bernardo Silva, and John Stones. City spent £458m on new recruits like Enzo Fernandez, Elliot Anderson, and Ayyoub Bouaddi, while recouping over £300m in player sales.
