Man City transfers: Done deals, team line up for next season, current targets, outgoings
MANCHESTER CITY transfers - done deals, signings, team line up for next season and outgoings.
MANCHESTER CITY
Manager: Pep Guardiola
Position last season: Champions
Nickname: City
Ground: Etihad Stadium
Capacity: 55,097
Players In:
Riyad Mahrez (Leicester, undisclosed)
Players Out:
Pablo Maffeo (Stuttgart, undisclosed), Yaya Toure (released), Will Patching (Notts County, released), Ashley Smith-Brown (Plymouth, undisclosed), Matt Smith (FC Twente, loan), Jacob Davenport (Blackburn, undisclosed), Manu Garcia (Toulouse, loan), Angus Gunn (Southampton, undisclosed), Isaac Buckley-Ricketts (Peterborough, undisclosed)
Possible line up:
Current targets:
Manchester City need to find a replacement for Yaya Toure, who has left on a free.
But they are not in pursuit of Miralem Pjanic - despite speculation that the Juventus midfielder has been lined up.
Thiago Alcantara, Mateo Kovacic and Mario Lemina have been linked with a move to the Etihad but the club have privately denied that they will make any high-profile signings.
City boss Guardiola is encouraged by his first glimpses of French starlet Claudio Gomes, who has signed a pro deal after turning 18.
Guardiola had earlier lined up Jorginho as a target only to be beaten to the deal by Chelsea.
Key Man: Kevin De Bruyne
Chances: After dominating the Premier League last season, City have already shown there is no room for complacency by breaking their transfer record to sign Riyad Mahrez.
Pep Guardiola's past record indicates he will not relent in his pursuit of success and City will look to start in the same exhilarating fashion where they left off. The onus is on rivals to stop them.
