I have a lot of close friends around vs I have many close friends around

Both phrases are correct, but they have slightly different nuances. 'I have a lot of close friends around' implies a large number of close friends. It also sounds less formal. Meanwhile, 'I have many close friends around' emphasizes the idea of numerous close friends. The choice between 'a lot of' and 'many' depends on the specific emphasis the speaker wants to convey.
