City spent more than any other Premier League club this summer, with the rebuild under Enzo Maresca approaching half a billion pounds. There was also a substantial clearout at the other end. City broke their transfer record twice. Elliot Anderson arrived from Nottingham Forest for a reported £116m before Enzo Fernández joined from Chelsea for […]
City’s summer rebuild is complete. Now Enzo Maresca has to work out how all the pieces fit together. The City squad that emerged from the transfer window looks markedly different from the one Maresca inherited. Enzo Fernández and Iliman Ndiaye were among the deadline-day arrivals, following Elliot Anderson, Ayyoub Bouaddi, Gerónimo Rulli and others into […]
Erling Haaland may have had to wait until the second game of the season for his first goal, but two statistics suggest the City striker is already looking ominous. The Norwegian scored twice in the impressive 4-1 victory at Crystal Palace last Friday, opening his account for the new Premier League campaign. And ahead of […]
Enzo Fernández has been handed one of the most recognisable shirt numbers in City history following his £125million move from Chelsea. The Argentina international will wear No.17, following in the footsteps of Kevin De Bruyne. De Bruyne wore the number throughout his decade at City after arriving from Wolfsburg in 2015, becoming one of the […]
Noel Gallagher believes City have a player they should build their new-look side around – and it isn’t Erling Haaland or £125m deadline-day signing Enzo Fernandez. The lifelong City supporter has instead picked out Rayan Cherki, describing the Frenchman as an “absolute diamond” after his excellent start to the season. Speaking on talkSPORT, Gallagher said […]
It hasn’t exactly been a quiet day at City. Deadline Day may be over, but there has been plenty to pick through after one of the most extraordinary transfer windows the club – or indeed the Premier League – has seen. We’ve had the final numbers, details of an £80m move that didn’t happen, a […]
City supporters have been given their first glimpse of Allan at work following the Brazilian’s move from Palmeiras. The 22-year-old has signed a five-year deal at the Etihad and has now taken part in his first training session with Enzo Maresca‘s squad. With Coventry visiting on Saturday, it may not be too long before supporters […]
Fantasy Premier League managers now know how much City‘s Deadline Day arrivals will cost them – and Iliman Ndiaye is one of the more interesting options. City have confirmed the FPL prices of their six newest first-team signings, with £125m arrival Enzo Fernández the most expensive at £6.9m. Ndiaye is available for £6.0m following his […]
City rejected a late Manchester United approach for Rayan Aït-Nouri during the final hours of the summer transfer window. United were looking for another left-back before Tuesday night’s deadline and asked their neighbours about taking the Algeria international on loan. The Times reports that United had a loan offer rejected, with City only willing to […]
City eventually landed Iliman Ndiaye on Deadline Day – but only after an £80million move for Cody Gakpo was rejected by Liverpool. According to Sky Sports, Liverpool turned down City’s offer for the Netherlands international on Monday. The Anfield club were concerned about their chances of finding a replacement so late in the transfer window […]
Manchester City’s summer rebuild is complete. The Man City transfer window 2026 shut on Deadline Day in late September, closing a window that reshaped the squad Enzo Maresca inherited from Pep Guardiola. The head coach spent heavily and lost several long-serving names in the process. Total spending passed £450m, a club record, with the biggest […]
City have completed the most expensive summer transfer window ever seen by a Premier League club – but there is another number which helps put Enzo Maresca’s extraordinary rebuild into context. Around £458m was spent on new players over the summer, according to figures reported by Reuters, eclipsing the previous Premier League single-window record. Deadline […]
