The collapse of close games against Leeds United and Fulham were worrying red flags, and the January transfer window presents Guardiola with an opportunity to make important additions.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about the team&#8217;s recent defensive vulnerabilities, he told reporters: <em>&#8220;I don&#8217;t like conceding six goals in two games, but we have to build from there. We have to fix these problems. I believe we can do better. Creating chances and scoring goals is what we have built as a team, but we have to be more solid.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So who could Man City sign in 2026? As it stands, their big names to watch seem to be Crystal Palace&#8217;s Marc G\u00f6ch and Eintracht Frankfurt&#8217;s Nathaniel Braun.<\/p>\n<p>Guehi would be a particularly impressive signing given that Liverpool remain very closely linked with his signature. City would jump at the chance to bring in the England international if he becomes available as a free agent next summer.<\/p>\n<p>    Meanwhile, Brown would also be an impressive addition. The left-back reportedly has many admirers at the Etihad and has emerged as an early target to help Guardiola solve his current defensive leaks.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"man-city-battling-arsenal-to-sign-brown\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Man_City_compete_with_Arsenal_to_sign_Brown\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Man City compete with Arsenal to sign Brown<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to Catch Offside, Man City are currently the clubs most interested in signing Brown, along with title rivals Arsenal.
