Enzo Maresca has acknowledged Manchester City's need for experienced additions after the departures of Bernardo Silva, John Stones and Nathan Ake.

Silva and Stones joined Real Madrid and Inter, respectively, as free agents, while Ake completed a move to Fenerbahce.

City have signed Elliot Anderson for £116m from Nottingham Forest and 17-year-old Jeremy Monga from Leicester City, while they have been linked with Lille's Ayyoub Bouaddi and Chelsea's Pedro Neto.

However, Maresca could lose another key player in Rodri, with the 2026 World Cup winner heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid.

The Italian believes City's squad is strong in many places, but the lack of experience is an area for improvement.

"Fortunately, this is a squad that doesn’t need to do many things," Maresca said.

"At the same time, as we already know the club lost important players in terms of experience like Bernardo, John and Nathan.

"Hugo [Viana, director of football] is here, also Ferran [Soriano, chief executive] is here and we just try to speak day by day to see if we need to do something.

"For sure, there are things that we need to do. We are in communication every day. The transfer window is open and when it’s open anything can happen."

City have two more pre-season games to go, against K-League Stars and Atletico Madrid, before they face Arsenal in the Community Shield on August 16.

Maresca's side begin their Premier League campaign a week later at home to Bournemouth.
