Hello ed002,

Can we have a little bit of update on man city transfer for the remaining transfer window?

It seems a little bit quiet here.

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - To the best of my knowledge it is something like this:
Completed:

Philippe Sander (CB) - a cheap but very promising centre back option - but the club was caned over agent fees
Riyad Mahrez (RW) – completed – frees up a player to leave

Potential interest remains in:

(GK) – we will have to see
Leonardo Bonucci (CB) - provides leadership but age is against him
Toby Alderweireld (CB) - but may need to fend off an offer of a new deal from Spurs, Manchester United and Real Madrid - unlikely
Julian Weigl (DM) – Jorginho option, injured right now
Mario Lemina (DM) – Jorginho option
Miralem Pjanic (CM) – very expensive and interest from elsewhere so very unlikely right now

Interest gone, not for sale or moved elsewhere:

Berke Ozer (GK) - will move to Fenerbahce for the chance of first team football
Matthijs de Ligt (CB) – not going to happen
Eder Militao (RB/CB) - Manchester City know they would need to pay well over the odds if he was to move to England in order to get a work permit - but may do so to block a move to Lazio or Juventus - Chelsea and Porto are options
Sergio Busquets (DM) - over ambitious bid will go nowhere
Jorginho (DM) – gone to Chelsea
Fred (CM) - gone to Manchester United
Jean Michael Seri (CM) – gone elsewhere
Thiago Alcantara (CM) – interest gone
Douglas Costa (RW) – interest gone as Juve look to profiteer
Leon Bailey (LW) – has turned down a move elsewhere and will likely stay where he is this summer
Thomas Lemar (LW) – gone elsewhere
Rafael Leao (F) – will move to Borussia Dortmund
Paulo Dybala (LW/F) – supposedly not available but an offer from elsewhere may still arrive – I don’t see him moving as it stands right now

Wildcards:

Cengiz Under (RW/AM) - one for the future but there is interest if he becomes available
Kylian Mbappe (W/F) - considered initially as an alternative to Mahrez but Manchester City are now looking at him playing in a more fluid role and a little something has now happened that could see a very significant offer made if he became available. However, it would be far from a surprise with Neymar looking to stay another season to see Real Madrid look to Mbappe this summer in addition to Hazard. And there is a better than good chance that they may be joined by Manchester City in making an offer if the club can make the necessary financial provisions - and making Sterling available and taking a loan against next season's earnings could be a big step in that direction.

Gone:

Angus Gunn (GK) - gone to Southampton
Pablo Maffeo (RB) - gone to Stuttgart
Angelino (LB) - gone to PSV
Yaya Toure (CB) - released
Olarenwaju Kayode (S) - left for Shakhtar
Javairo Dilrosun (LW/F) - Gone to Herta
A few players have gone on loan

Players who will be sold or are at least available:

Joe Hart (GK)
Jason Denayer (CB)
Fernandinho (DM)
Oleksandr Zinchenko (CM)
Brahim Diaz (AM)
Patrick Roberts (RW)
Raheem Sterling (RW/LW)

Thoughts are also turning to the futures of Vincent Kompany (CB), David Silva (AM)
and Sergio Aguero (S)

Well I thought that mbappe is set to stay for one more season at psg before moving. so there is slight chance he will move this summer then
