Before defeat at Aston Villa, Guardiola said: "'We're not a big fan of that (window) but the circumstances of this season have been special. We've spoken about doing something.
"In winter, it's if we really need it, or if we can really find something. It is not easy to do. Clubs don't want to sell and players are so expensive. It depends on the market, we'll see."
Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi and Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes feature high on City's shopping list.
