Manchester City are set to look very different next season.
The 2024/25 campaign has been a very tough one for the Manchester club, having gone through the season trophyless, which is a very rare occurrence since Pep Guardiola arrived at the club in 2016.
The legendary coach will not want to experience this again. Therefore, this summer will see major changes occur at the Premier League giants with Guardiola keen to bring in four or five new faces.
The wide positions are not a priority for Man City this summer, but could become so if they lose some stars, as Jack Grealish’s future at the Etihad Stadium is uncertain.
Man City have a few wingers they are keeping an eye on, and Ian Wright thinks one of them reminds him of Grealish, therefore, he would be a like-for-like replacement.

Tyler Dibling reminds Ian Wright of Jack Grealish
Having been relegated with Southampton this season, Tyler Dibling is expected to leave the Saints over the summer, and Man City are one club keeping an eye on his situation.
Speaking about the youngster, Wright has admitted that the winger reminds him of Grealish with the energy he plays with on the pitch.
“Player to watch next season, Tyler Dibling at Southampton, right-sided attacker, really composed,” Darren Lewis said about the Saints star’s future on The Kelly & Wrighty Show.
To which Wright replied with: “He (Dibling) has Jack Grealish energy, the way he plays.
Dibling would be an exciting replacement for Grealish at the Etihad, who has been advised by Gary Neville to leave Man City for a club abroad next season.
The Manchester club would be getting a similar player who is ten years younger, but it remains to be seen if City make a move, given the price tag the Saints have placed on the 19-year-old.
How Tyler Dibling compares to Jack Grealish
Dibling is a right-winger who is similar to Grealish, not only because he wears his socks low, but the 19-year-old carries himself in the same way on the pitch.
The youngster is a very strong dribbler, carries the ball really well, and he is versatile, which is a trait Guardiola is a big fan of.
| Player | Games | Goals | Assists | Minutes |
| Jack Grealish | 32 | 3 | 5 | 1521 |
| Tyler Dibling | 38 | 4 | 3 | 2215 |
The 19-year-old will remind many football fans of the way Grealish used to be before moving to Man City, which might also be a bad thing, as Guardiola was not a good fit for the Englishman, as the 29-year-old had all the things that made him exciting coached out of him.
Southampton are said to want over £100m for Dibling, which is a fee no club is going to pay, but if that is lowered, it remains to be seen if the Manchester club make a move for the young talent.
