TVC E. Emirati businessman, Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak says they will place more emphasis on the academy players,
He said: “We have to keep that balance between what we have built and the future.We have to keep a balance between age groups, between young players and experienced players, and all this balance is really in the hands of Pep.Pep has a particular way he wants to manage the squad and a particular way he wants to play. I think we will need particular players who will join the team that fit and will be moulded to the way he would like this team to play.”
“There will also be some players [for whom] the time is right to move on. I think we will have some changes this summer. We will invest as we have always done in this club, in this team.
“We will provide the necessary resources for Pep to build a team that has the ambition and capability to go and win back this Premier League for us, to go as far as we can and try and win the Champions League and keep pushing at the cups.”
