It’s shaping up to be a busy January for Manchester City, especially in their defensive department.

After already bolstering their backline with two key signings, the Premier League champions are now setting their sights on adding a third defender before the transfer window closes.

Juma Bah: A Rising Star in the Spotlight

The latest name on City’s radar is 18-year-old Juma Bah, a towering centre-back currently on loan at Real Valladolid from AIK Freetong.

Despite Valladolid’s struggles in La Liga, Bah has impressed with 12 first-team appearances since breaking into the squad last September.

Standing at an imposing 6’5”, he would instantly become City’s tallest player, even surpassing Erling Haaland.

Bah’s talent hasn’t gone unnoticed on the international stage either.

He received his first call-up to the Sierra Leone national team last May, though he’s still waiting to make his debut.

If City finalize the deal, the plan is to loan him out to RC Lens for further development.

City’s Defensive Reinforcements

Pep Guardiola isn’t taking any chances with his squad depth.

Earlier this week, Manchester City secured the signings of two promising defenders.

On Monday, they completed a £33 million deal for Abdukodir Khusanov from RC Lens, with the player committing to a four-and-a-half-year contract.

The next day, City announced the arrival of Vitor Reis, a 19-year-old centre-back from Palmeiras, for £29.4 million.

Reis, regarded as one of South America’s brightest young talents, will join the squad immediately.

Big Moves Up Front: Omar Marmoush

It’s not just the defense getting attention—City’s attack is also set for a boost.

Egyptian striker Omar Marmoush is on the verge of joining after undergoing a medical with the club.

A verbal agreement of £67 million has been reached with Eintracht Frankfurt for the 25-year-old, who has been in sensational form this season.

With 15 Bundesliga goals—second only to Harry Kane—and 20 across all competitions, Marmoush promises to bring even more firepower to an already formidable attack.

What’s Next for Manchester City?

With the transfer window still open, it’s clear Manchester City aren’t done yet.

The club is building not just for immediate success but for the future, with young talents like Bah, Khusanov, and Reis forming a strong foundation for years to come.

As Pep Guardiola fine-tunes his squad, fans can only wonder what other surprises the club has in store before deadline day.
