Manchester City has arrived in Miami, gearing up for the FIFA Club World Cup. The trophy, which requires a special unlocking by President Gianni Infantino, is a quirky yet serious goal for Pep Guardiola and his 27-player squad. After a season that fell short of expectations, City is determined to make a statement as Guardiola approaches his tenth year as manager. With rival teams reshuffling, the longest-serving manager in the Premier League is ready to take action. Additionally, City is looking to finalize significant transfers before the tournament kicks off.
