Manchester City transfer round-up: key arrivals, departures, and updates

Key Arrivals

1. Harrison Miles
   • Manchester City is advancing on a deal to sign the talented midfielder Harrison Miles following the expiry of his Southampton contract. The 15-year-old England Under-16 captain has also attracted interest from other Premier League clubs, including Arsenal.
2. Han Willhoft-King
   • The club has agreed to sign the 18-year-old midfielder for their Under-19 squad. Willhoft-King, who recently left Tottenham, is joining City on a two-year contract.
3. Sávio
   • Manchester City is set to sign Brazilian winger Sávio on a five-year contract. The official announcement is expected after the Copa América, with plans for him to join the first-team squad under Pep Guardiola next season.
4. Jeremie Frimpong
   • Manchester City has discussed a potential move for Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong. However, this will only be pursued if Kyle Walker leaves the club, which currently seems unlikely.
5. Potential Right-Winger and Left-Back
   • The club is exploring options to sign a right-winger and a left-back to replace Sergio Gomez, who is expected to leave. The left-back replacement is not expected to be a ready-made first-team player.

Departures

1. Lewis Fiorini
   • Fiorini has left Manchester City to join Stockport County. The deal includes an initial £300,000 fee, potentially rising to £1 million, with a high sell-on clause attached.
2. Taylor Harwood-Bellis
   • Harwood-Bellis has moved to Southampton with a £20 million obligation to buy. The deal includes considerable add-ons and a first option buy-back during the first three years of his contract with the Saints.
3. Sávio
   • There is a possibility of a loan deal for Sávio if he does not impress during Manchester City’s pre-season. However, the club hopes he will be ready to contribute and stay with the first team.
4. Matheus Nunes
   • Nunes is considered the most likely player to leave Manchester City this summer, with interest from Saudi Arabia.
5. James McAtee
   • Despite interest from Chelsea and other European clubs, Manchester City is not pushing for a sale and will give McAtee the opportunity to prove himself this summer.

Contract Renewals

1. Stefan Ortega
   • Ortega has signed a one-year contract extension until the end of the 2025/26 season.
2. Scott Carson
   • Carson has also signed a one-year contract extension, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2024/25 season.

Backroom Staff

• Additional Set-Piece Coach and Analyst
  • Pep Guardiola has requested an additional set-piece coach and analyst for the first team to refresh and strengthen his backroom staff.

Club Legend Return

• Fernandinho
  • Fernandinho has not ruled out a return to Manchester City in a high-level capacity in the future, despite currently enjoying life back in Brazil.
