It’s set to be yet another busy summer for Manchester City and here you can keep up to date with every serious transfer rumour.
After years of steady building and limited editions, Manchester City have gone relatively signing-mad over the last couple of summer transfer windows.
With big-name players leaving the Etihad, Pep Guardiola has been forced to recruit heavily to replenish and rejuvenate his squad.
Several stars have already been linked with moves away this summer so it could be yet another eventful window in both directions for City.
Here you can keep track of every player linked to and from the club throughout the 2024 summer transfer window.
- Man City summer transfer window 2024: Confirmed signings, departures, loan exits and releases
Goalkeepers linked with Man City
Diogo Costa – Porto
With uncertainty surrounding City’s goalkeeping situation, the club have been linked with a replacement in Porto’s Diogo Costa in May. The Portuguese No.1 reportedly has a release clause of £63.6m
Defenders linked with Man City
Jeremie Frimpoing – Bayer Leverkusen
Former City starlet Jeremie Frimpong played a key role in Bayer Leverkusen’s sensational Bundesliga title triumph and has inevitably been linked with a big summer move.
A return to City to eventually replace Kyle Walker has been mooted in the media.
Jarrad Branthwaite – Everton
City have been linked with Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite as early as March this year but he will cost £60m, according to speculation.
Midfielders linked with Man City
Bruno Guimaraes – Newcastle United
The Blues have been repeatedly linked with Newcastle midfield general Bruno Guimaraes and are supposedly the favourites to sign him.
However, other reports suggest the Magpies’ steep asking price will scupper any move.
Alan Varela – Porto
Reports suggest City, as well as Liverpool and Bayern Munich, are battling it out for Argentine defensive midfielder Alan Varela.
Dani Olmo – RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig playmaker Dani Olmo has been repeatedly linked with City over the years and was again in May. However, he reportedly prefers a switch to Barcelona.
Lucas Paqueta – West Ham United
City were closing in on signing West Ham United midfielder Lucas Paqueta last summer until it emerged he was being investigated for betting breaches.
Paqueta was once again linked with the club this year but any move looks unlikely after he was charged by the FA four times in relation to betting regulations.
Joshua Kimmich – Bayern Munich
Joshua Kimmich is a name long linked with a transfer to the blue half of Manchester and this summer is no different but he too reportedly wants a Barcelona switch instead.
Joao Neves – Benfica
City were linked with Benfica defensive midfielder Joao Neves in April with a price tag of over £100m touted.
Forwards linked with Man City
Michael Olise – Crystal Palace
City are one of several clubs with a supposed interest in Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise but reports suggest Aston Villa are confident of winning the race to sign him.
Pedro Neto – Wolves
City have been touted with an interest in rapid Wolves winger Pedro Neto ever since he helped his side defeat the Blues in October. However, it’s claimed he is not a top priority right now with a £60m price tag put on his head.
Players linked away from Manchester City
Jack Grealish
After an underwhelming season in which he struggled for game time, Jack Grealish has been linked with a move away though City are reportedly not looking to offload him. Chelsea have been linked.
Bernardo Silva
It wouldn’t be a transfer window without Bernardo Silva’s future being questioned and it already has this year despite him signing a new contract in 2023.
However, the latest report claims PSG are no longer interested.
Kalvin Phillips
Kalvin Phillips looks unlikely to have much of a future at City after another disastrous campaign and a failed loan stint at West Ham.
Sean Dyche’s Everton are reportedly keen on taking him on loan for next season, though.
Ederson
According to a report in May from Fabrizio Romano, Brazilian Ederson could leave the Etihad if a ‘good proposal’ is made to the goalkeeper.
Kevin De Bruyne
There is strong and repeated speculation that Kevin De Bruyne could potentially leave City this summer. Teams in both Saudi Arabia and the USA are said to be interested in the brilliant Belgian.
Rodri
It was reported in Spanish media in May that Real Madrid see Rodri as the dream replacement for Toni Kroos but it’s hard to see City letting their most important player go.
Stefan Ortega
Title-winning hero Stefan Ortega supposedly wants to stay at the club but stalling contract talks could apparently see him depart this summer.
Yan Couto
It was reported in May that City have no plans to use Yan Couto despite his strong season at Girona and are looking to sell the right-back.
James McAtee
After a difficult season at relegated Sheffield United, James McAtee may get a loan move to Girona, it was reported in May.
Sergio Gomez
Left-back Sergio Gomez could be on the chopping block according to a report from early May.
