Viana’s £40m Pillow Fort: Ready for a Shopping Spree?…

Manchester City’s summer plans might get an unexpected boost thanks to Txiki Begiristain’s clever gift ideas. As Hugo Viana gets ready to take over the sporting director from Txiki, he’s about to discover a treasure map worth £40.1 million, thanks to some smart player trades. Now, that’s how you welcome a new guy!

Viana’s mission, should he choose to accept it, is to revamp a slightly winded squad with some strategic shopping. Players like Abdukodir Khusanov and Nico Gonzalez are proof that the January sale deals work after all. Plus, Txiki’s surprise gift includes Yan Couto’s teleportation to Dortmund for a crisp £25 million, and several other magic beans transfer deals. Can’t forget Kyle Walker possibly dancing with AC Milan for £4.2 million – go Kyle!

The real puzzle unfolds as Viana scans through players like Kalvin Phillips, who is fashionably linked to a £20 million runway show back at Leeds. With all these transfers, Hugo’s task is pretty clear: sell players like he’s in a major clearance sale, and reinvest like a city-loving Santa Claus ready to redefine the Etihad! Looks like the summer will be a real transfer carnival!
