Manchester City’s transfer market is in full swing with moves and rumours that are capturing everyone’s attention. Here are the most surprising and novel rumours about the Skyblues:
One of the names that has been making the rounds recently is that of Rodrygo Goes, the Brazilian striker for Real Madrid. Although his signing seemed unlikely after the arrival of Mbappé to the club, the recent departure of Julián Álvarez from City to Atlético de Madrid has put Rodrygo back in the orbit of Pep Guardiola’s team. According to Marca, the Catalan coach has always been an admirer of the Brazilian, although the operation would not be cheap, since Madrid could ask for a figure close to 175 million euros.
The transfer of Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid seems to be done. According to The Athletic, the agreement has been reached for around 95 million euros, including bonuses, which makes this operation one of the most significant of the summer. The Argentine striker is looking for more prominence, and under the direction of Diego Simeone, he hopes to find a more prominent role in the Colchoneros. Fabrizio Romano has already given his classic “Here we go”, confirming that the transfer is a done deal.
On the other hand, the impending departure of Julian Alvarez has left a significant gap in Manchester City’s attack, and there has been much speculation about his possible replacement. However, according to The Athletic, Guardiola could surprise everyone by opting not to sign anyone and instead rely on Phil Foden to partner Erling Haaland in attack. This strategy would allow City to save a considerable sum, while young talents such as Savinho and Oscar Bobb could be given the chance to shine in more advanced positions.
Another rumour that has caused a stir is that of Joshua Kimmich, who has been linked with Manchester City, PSG and Barcelona due to doubts over his future at Bayern Munich. However, Kimmich has decided to stay at Bayern for at least one more season. This decision puts an end to speculation about a possible transfer this summer, although it leaves the door open for an exit next year, when the player would be free to negotiate.
Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Manchester City are close to completing the sale of Micah Hamilton to Middlesbrough for a fee of around €4m. The young English talent is looking for more playing time, and although he is leaving the Etihad, City have secured a buy-back option for €12m. This shows the club’s long-term strategy, which continues to focus on developing promising youngsters.
