Man City’s summer business under Enzo Maresca and director of football Hugo Viana, updated as the window develops. Here’s every confirmed signing, advanced deal, live target and departure in one place.
✅ Confirmed signings
Elliot Anderson — Nottingham Forest, midfielder. Club-record £116m deal, medical completed in Kansas during the World Cup. Formalities to be finalised on his return to England.
Jeremy Monga — Leicester City, forward. £12.5m deal (£10m up front, £2.5m in add-ons), City beating off competition from Arsenal and Manchester United.
Pierce Charles — Sheffield Wednesday, goalkeeper. Agreed deal as City strengthen their goalkeeping options behind Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Heaven Kilwa — Aston Villa academy, 16-year-old defender. Turned down a new Villa Park scholarship to join City’s academy setup.
Mathys Detourbet — loan to Monaco, confirmed alongside the early-window business.
Josko Gvardiol contract renewal — not a transfer, but a significant retention. New deal until June 2031, ending Real Madrid’s interest.
🔴 Confirmed departures
Manuel Akanji — Inter Milan, £13m purchase option triggered following Inter’s Serie A title win.
Bernardo Silva — Real Madrid, free transfer after his City contract expired.
John Stones — released as a free agent after a decade at the club. Since linked with Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan, though no move confirmed.
Nathan Aké — Fenerbahçe, permanent move confirmed.
🔵 Live targets — incoming
Malo Gusto (Chelsea, right-back) — Personal terms were previously reported as agreed, but the move has stalled over Chelsea’s £75m valuation, which City are unwilling to meet. Bayern Munich have also made enquiries.
Jules Kounde (Barcelona, right-back/centre-back) — City among clubs alerted to his potential availability, with Barcelona said to be seeking above €50m.
Eduardo Camavinga (Real Madrid, midfielder) — Real Madrid have offered him to City as part of their own midfield rebuild. Talks reported to be at an early stage.
Ayyoub Bouaddi (Lille, midfielder) — City reported to hold an advantage in the race, though the structure under discussion points to a 2027 arrival rather than an immediate one.
Givairo Read (Feyenoord, winger) — Monitored by City’s recruitment team, and could become a more direct option if Gusto’s price doesn’t move.
Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa, forward) — City competing with Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Chelsea.
Eli Junior Kroupi (Bournemouth, forward) — Linked as a potential support option for Haaland, with Arsenal and PSG also interested. Bournemouth understood to want to keep him for at least another season.
Yan Diomande (RB Leipzig, winger) — Liverpool pushing for a quick agreement; City monitoring the situation alongside PSG.
Ørjan Nyland (free agent, goalkeeper) — Considered as low-cost cover, contingent on James Trafford’s exit being confirmed.
🔵 Live targets — outgoing
James Trafford (goalkeeper) — Newcastle remain the clearest suitors, with Aston Villa and Tottenham also credited with interest. Trafford is expected to seek clarity from Maresca on his role before deciding whether to push for a move.
Rico Lewis (right-back/midfielder) — City prepared to sanction an exit, with Nottingham Forest showing strong interest. His standing shifted quickly once Anderson arrived above him.
Savinho (winger) — Talks with Tottenham reported to be advancing.
Kalvin Phillips (midfielder) — Advanced discussions over a loan return to Sheffield United.
Tijjani Reijnders (midfielder) — Named among players expected to leave under Maresca, with Galatasaray and Atlético Madrid linked.
Mateo Kovačić (midfielder) — Now framed as part of a genuine midfield overhaul rather than simple rotation, with AC Milan interested.
Omar Marmoush (striker) — Atlético Madrid have identified him as a leading target, with Maresca reportedly open to a sale at around €60m.
🟡 Contract situations
Rodri (midfielder) — A new contract offer has been on the table since April without being signed. Real Madrid have reportedly ruled out a move this summer, easing exit risk, though Rodri could still see out the season and leave on a free transfer in 2027 if no new deal is agreed.
