Real Madrid star Rodrygo has constantly been linked to an exit from the Bernabeu, especially since Franco Mastantuono’s signing from River Plate. City have taken notice of the Brazilian forward, and according to Spanish outlet Cadena SER, Los Blancos are considering his sale for around £80m.
However, City’s pursuit of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) winner could be hampered by Arsenal, who are equally keen to sign the Real Madrid no.11.
Tino Livramento (Newcastle)
According to The Athletic, City made bolstering the right-back position their number one priority ahead of the new season. This is where Tino Livramento’s profile comes in, with the England U21 international of high value in terms of his development and potential output.
With Kyle Walker leaving to join fellow Premier League side Burnley, City are still in urgent need of defensive reinforcements on the right. One of Eddie Howe’s favourites, Livramento, still has three years left on his Magpies contract, but City are eager to complete a deal.
According to Spanish news outlet Fichajes, City have offered £147m for Cole Palmer to return to the club from fellow Premier League rivals Chelsea. Guardiola is thought to be determined to bring the England international star back to the Etihad Stadium.
Morten Hjulmand (Sporting)
According to Portuguese news outlet A Bola, City are set to compete with fellow Manchester rivals United for the signing of Sporting midfielder Morten Hjulmand.
According to Portuguese media, City made an approach to try and sign Porto and Portugal international goalkeeper Diogo Costa in the summer transfer window. They were considering submitting an offer of around £52.1m for him.
Denzel Dumfries (Inter Milan)
According to Spanish news outlet El Nacional, City showed an interest in Inter Milan and Netherlands international wing-back Denzel Dumfries. He reportedly has a £21.7m release clause in his contract at San Siro.
According to Spanish news outlet Diario AS, City were interested in signing Barcelona and Germany international goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen as a potential replacement for Ederson in the summer transfer window.
Carlos Baleba (Brighton)
According to ESPN, Brighton set an asking price of around £104.1m to sell central midfield player Carlos Baleba before the summer transfer window shut, amid interest in signing the player from City and fellow rivals Manchester United. Guardiola is thought to be a long-term admirer of Baleba, but he is happy to stay at the Seagulls for the 2025/26 campaign.
According to Spanish news publication AS, City, as well as Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Real Madrid are interested in signing Crystal Palace and England international midfielder Adam Wharton. However, the Eagles would demand at least £69m for his services.
Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth)
According to The Boot Room, City have taken an interest in Antoine Semenyo after watching him in action this term. However, Aston Villa are also interested in the Bournemouth star, as well as Manchester United, Tottenham, Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig and Atletico Madrid.
According to Spanish news outlet Fichajes, City are preparing a £105m bid to try and sign Joao Neves. However, PSG ideally do not wish to sell the Portugal international midfielder.
Aleksandar Pavlovic (Bayern Munich)
According to SportsBoom, City are preparing for the eventual departure of Rodri by considering a move for Bayern Munich midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic.
