The 46-year-old Italian coach is believed to have held preliminary discussions with City sporting director Hugo Viana over the club’s plans in the summer transfer market and for their upcoming pre-season campaign. City are set to witness a mass exodus this summer as the likes of Ruben Dias, Tijjani Reijnders, James Trafford, Rico Lewis, Omar Marmoush, Nico Gonzalez and S a vinho consider their future(s) at the Etihad Stadium after Guardiola’s exit. John Stones and Bernardo Silva have already left as free agents, with Viana set to back Maresca heavily in the transfer market to build a title-winning squad as the Blues look to go from strength to strength in the backdrop of their recent Carabao Cup and FA Cup winning campaign. Report: Man City want to sign new winger amid Savinho talks with Tottenham The January signings of Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi proved to be a resounding success as early as a few months into their City careers, with the duo seamlessly integrating into Guardiola’s starting XI and playing a crucial role in the Blues’ cup double run-in and titanic title race battle with Arsenal. City are resigned to sell Savinho this summer as talks with Tottenham progress over what is likely to be a deal in the region of £60 million, though it is understood that the north London outfit are yet to make a formal offer for the 22-year-old Brazilian winger. As reported by Alex James of the Manchester Evening News , Manchester City want to sign a new winger for Maresca to add further depth to a backline that saw Jeremy Doku star and Semenyo provide brilliant value last term. Savinho plots next steps beyond Manchester City and targets new club in Premier League Why do Man City want a new winger after Antoine Semenyo arrival? City’s desire to add a fresh wide attacking option is likely stemming from the fact that Guardiola was rather over-reliant on Doku to provide a real threat in the final third last season until Semenyo’s £65 million arrival from Bournemouth in January. Phil Foden prefers playing in the middle and Silva has also joined Real Madrid on a free transfer, whilst there is uncertainty over the future of Marmoush, who has drawn interest from Barcelona . A new winger is further down the priority list this summer for City, who are close to agreeing a club record deal with Nottingham Forest for the signing of England midfielder Elliot Anderson .
