Manchester City transfer news: Cityzens in five-way tussle for Premier League centre-back ...Middle East

Manchester City are part of the long list of English clubs interested in recruiting a Premier League centre-back during the summer 2026 transfer window.

Whilst John Stones, at the end of his contract in June 2026, has still not extended, Manchester City are already studying the possibility of recruiting a new centre-back in the coming months. The profile of a Ligue 1 player appeals to the Citizens. Manchester City are ready to compete with Liverpool for a £15m TFC key player: Charlie Cresswell. On the other side of the Channel, another matter has been opened at this position by the management of the club based at the Etihad Stadium.

According to information given by TBR Football, Manchester City are interested in Ezri Konsa's situation, the Aston Villa centre-back. Under contract until June 2028, the 28-year-old England international remains faithful to the Villans since summer 2019 but the London native will perhaps want to finally take a new step in his career by joining a more upmarket side. For Manchester City, the struggle promises to be intense since at least four other Premier League clubs are also considering an arrival of Konsa.
