Gary is a writer for ReadManCity. He has many years experience of sports writing behind him after deciding (belatedly) that the world of accountancy wasn't for him. His work has been featured on (among many others) BBC Sport and The Metro. He has written on many sports, but considers himself an expert in football and F1. When not writing and editing he likes to go to the cinema and sip a lovely cold pint of Guinness (not always at the same time).
Eduardo Camavinga has told his agent he wants to stay at Real Madrid and has no interest in leaving this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano, ending any realistic prospect of a move to Man City despite Los Blancos being open to a sale.

City are not prepared to meet Chelsea’s £75m valuation of Malo Gusto, though further talks between the two clubs are expected once the World Cup concludes, according to Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke. City remain keen on the France international as Enzo Maresca’s preferred option to fill the club’s long-standing gap at right-back, a position Matheus […]
City are set to have several senior players back in training from 20 July, according to Sacha Pisani, with Jack Grealish among those expected to report despite ongoing talk of a permanent exit. Gianluigi Donnarumma, Rico Lewis, Kalvin Phillips, Phil Foden, Nico Gonzalez and Savinho are also understood to be part of the first group […]
Six stories published across the weekend, from a loan exit to a World Cup quarter-final — here’s where everything stands.

Erling Haaland’s first World Cup finished on Saturday, as Norway lost 2-1 after extra time to England in the quarter-final in Miami.

When City walked out at the City of Manchester Stadium for the first time in August 2003, the club was entering unfamiliar territory. Maine Road had been home for 80 years, but City were moving into a new stadium built for a different purpose and a different future. More than two decades later, that venue […]
City have confirmed the signing of Jeremy Monga from Leicester City on a five-year contract. The announcement will naturally focus on one of England’s brightest young talents arriving at the Etihad, but the transfer also reflects something City’s academy has become increasingly good at over the past few years – convincing elite prospects that there […]
Tonight, Nico O’Reilly will walk out for England in a World Cup quarter-final. For most players, reaching the last eight of football’s biggest tournament would represent the pinnacle of a career. For O’Reilly, at just 21, it is another milestone in a journey that has gathered pace over the past 18 months. The Man City […]
Most clubs would love City’s problem at centre-back. With five senior options for two starting places, the question for Enzo Maresca isn’t who’s missing — it’s who misses out. A year ago, City’s central defence looked different. Some would say ageing. Now, after Manuel Akanji left for Inter Milan, John Stones was released, and Nathan […]
