Manchester City transfer news: Cityzens to offload £20m cast-off in winter window

Manchester City are regaining their colours, but certain players are clearly no longer desired. This is the case for a £20m key player, pushed towards the exit ahead of the winter transfer window.

Currently second in the Premier League and seventh in the Champions League, Manchester City are experiencing a good start to the season. If the play is far from flamboyant, the Citizens can count on an Erling Haaland in great form. The Norwegian striker has already found the back of the net on 15 occasions since the start of the 2025-26 campaign. The English club are clearly acting as outsiders now.

    But if Manchester City are aiming for a return to the summit, this will not happen without certain sacrifices. In midfield, the play has evolved considerably and the first player to have been impacted is Mateo Kovacic. According to information from Caught Offside, the Croatian has strong chances of leaving the Sky Blues during the winter transfer window. He no longer fits into Pep Guardiola's plans.

    Mateo Kovacic's winter targets

    After undergoing an operation this summer that made him miss the Club World Cup, Kovacic has not yet completely returned. He has lost his place in the group and has only played two matches this season. The British media state that West Ham and Aston Villa are interested. A return to La Liga could also materialise for the former Real Madrid player, at Villarreal or Real Betis.

    Finally, the Italian press, notably Milanliveit, put forward the fact that AC Milan could attempt to secure Kovacic's services. The Rossoneri see the opportunity to reform the international duo with Luka Modric. The 31-year-old Citizen is valued at £17.1m and should probably leave Manchester City, in order to ensure his place at the World Cup at the end of the season.
