Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola rules his side out of making any signings in the January transfer window.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has ruled out any potential signings for his side in the January window.

City have one of the most expensive squads in world football and spent £125m during this summer's window.

The Citizens did move very late in the summer window to sign Borussia Dortmund's Manuel Akanji in a £15m deal, but it seems that was the last piece of business needed for City's manager this season.

"We are not going to sign anyone in January. We have the squad," Guardiola told reporters.

Last year's Premier League champions had a busy summer, with Erling Braut Haaland, Stefan Ortega, Sergio Gomez, Kalvin Phillips and Akanji all joining.

Haaland has hit the ground running in a Sky Blue shirt since joining, with 23 goals and three assists in only 17 games so far this season.

However, they also let plenty of players leave with Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling among the top names, whilst they also sold Oleksandr Zinchenko, Pedro Porro, Ko Itakura and also saw long-time servant Fernandinho leave after nine years.

City currently sit two points behind leaders Arsenal and face off against Red Bull Leipzig in the first knockout round of the Champions League with the first leg scheduled for February 22.
