Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 14 possible arrivals and 9 potential exits. The hottest storyline right now is about Sandro Tonali, and below is the latest news on the most important transfer rumours.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall
On Monday, it was reported that Manchester City are targeting Everton midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and have made an opening offer. According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, City proposed a bid worth around £35 million, but Everton want a fee closer to £40 million. Everton are understood to be open to discussions if their valuation is met, though City are expected to remain patient. According to Transfermarkt, the 27-year-old has made 18 appearances in the 2025/2026 Premier League season, scoring 5 goals and providing 4 assists.
Wesley
La Gazzetta dello Sport reported on Thursday that Manchester City is interested in Wesley, who joined AS Roma last summer. The report states that City is ready to offer €50 million to sign the player. However, AS Roma has declared Wesley not for sale. On Wednesday, Netfla also reported that City were ready to bid €50 million (£43.5 million, $59.5 million) for the right-back.
Trent Alexander-Arnold
Graeme Bailey reported on Saturday that Manchester City are assessing a move for Trent Alexander-Arnold. The 27-year-old is reportedly frustrated at his lack of opportunities at Real Madrid. The Spanish club would demand a substantial fee, and Liverpool would not enter the bidding if a return to England was a possibility.
Bernardo Silva
On his DAZN Transfer show on Thursday, Fabrizio Romano identified Bernardo Silva as a significant player to observe in the upcoming summer window. Romano stated his belief that Silva will be a key figure, citing the player's value. It is reported that the player has already decided he is likely to leave when his contract expires, although Manchester City still wants him to stay. Silva appears to be focused on a move to mainland Europe, with Barcelona considered a likely destination.
Joaquin Panichelli
On Friday, FootballTransfers revealed that Manchester City attempted to sign Strasbourg striker Joaquin Panichelli on Deadline Day to provide competition for Erling Haaland. L'Equipe had reported that an unnamed Premier League side made a last-minute enquiry, and the BBC later added that Strasbourg quoted a €50 million price for their striker.
Igor Thiago
Manchester City maintain their interest in the 24-year-old Brazilian forward Igor Thiago, according to a report on Friday. This is despite his new long-term contract with Brentford that runs until 2031. Sources who spoke to TEAMtalk said Manchester City, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich are monitoring his progress, while a separate source informed the outlet that Thiago is not seeking a transfer.
E. Kroupi
Several top Premier League clubs, including Manchester City, are aware of French and Ivorian forward Eli Junior Kroupi’s form and are monitoring developments, as of Friday. It is understood that Paris Saint-Germain have the most significant interest. His current club, Bournemouth, values the 19-year-old at approximately £80m and are confident they can keep the player.
