Manchester City transfer news: Possible XI after deadline day – Mahrez to replace star?

Pep Guardiola will be delighted with Manchester City’s summer transfer business so far after a relatively peaceful summer for the Premier League champions.

Riyad Mahrez is the only major incoming transfer with his £60million fee smashing the club’s transfer record.

The Algerian star had been angling for a move away from Leicester City ever since his heroic efforts during their title winning season in 2015/16.

He has a point to prove after finally landing a box office move, and could be brought straight into the starting XI in place of a City superstar.

Kevin De Bruyne, Leroy Sane, Raheem Sterling and David Silva tormented defences last season, but one player must be dropped if they are to accomodate Mahrez.

Take a look through the gallery to reveal how Manchester City could line up next season after the transfer window closes.
