Man City transfer news: the latest on Rodri, Savinho and Morgan Rogers

Manchester City are looking to add members to their squad in three different positions this summer, but moving players on is also important.

Check out all the transfer gossip surround the Citizens here on Read Man City!

Max Alleyne could be sent on loan

Alleyne enjoyed 14 Championship starts for Watford before being recalled by City, and he could be set for another loan move.

According to The Athletic, Man City rate their young centre-back highly and have considered keeping him in the first-team next season.

Despite this, his inexperience was highlighted in matches such as the Manchester derby, as well as the Champions League defeat to Bodo/Glimt.

So in order to give Alleyne as much game time as possible, the Citizens will consider sending him on another loan move this summer.

Man City face Arsenal battle for Morgan Rogers

In order to sign Rogers, Man City will need to outmuscle PSG and Chelsea. Additionally, Arsenal have also joined the race, according to Ekrem Konur.

The Gunners were able to win the Premier League, but fell just short against PSG in the Champions League final.

While Mikel Arteta’s team defended exceptionally well throughout the season, their attack was far less expiring. Of course, the club have become infamous for their reliance on set pieces.

Therefore, this is an area where Rogers could be helpful, as he is both a goal threat as well as a creative spark.

Savinho is moving closer to joining Spurs

According to Fabrizio Romano, negotiations between the Citizens and Tottenham are progressing well for the transfer of Savinho.

Spurs reckon the Brazilian is keen for a move, and City would be willing to part ways if the right offer is received.

‘Deal on’ is the message delivered by the journalist, which means unless there is a dramatic twist, Savinho is likely to be playing his football in North London next season.

Tottenham do not want to sell Pedro Porro

While Man City are open to making a sale, Spurs have no interest in letting Porro leave during the summer transfer window.

Roberto De Zerbi and the club hierarchy view the Spaniard as an important player, and they remain unfazed by interest from City and Real Madrid.

However, Porro’s current deal expires in 2028. Therefore, if he refuses to sign a contract extension, forcing a move would become a possibility.

Rodri will not announce his decision until after the World Cup

According to BBC Sport, Rodri will be a transfer target if Enrique Riquelme gets elected as Real Madrid’s president. 

Despite this, the Spaniard has chosen not to dwell on this possible opportunity. Instead, he is solely focused on the World Cup.

During a news conference, Rodri said: “With a World Cup ahead, my responsibility is to stay focused.

“Anything related to my future will wait until after the World Cup.

“When a player is approaching the final stage of his contract, it’s normal for names to be mentioned,” he continued.

“I’m very calm, I know exactly where I stand, and I’ll tell you that perhaps if there hadn’t been a World Cup, things might be different now.”
