Manchester City still uncertain of signing new striker, says Pep Guardiola

Manchester City have not yet decided if they will sign a new striker to replace Sergio Aguero, manager Pep Guardiola said, with the summer transfer window set to close next week.

City signed England playmaker Jack Grealish from Aston Villa for a British record £100 million, but they are short on central striking options after Aguero joined Barcelona following his City exit at the end of last season.

With the Premier League transfer window scheduled to shut on August 31, time is running out for City to make new signings.

“When we decided not to extend the contract of Sergio Aguero and people asked what we would do, I said many times it would depend on the market,” Guardiola said. “Maybe we will buy, maybe not. It is still the same situation.
