Manchester City transfer rumours | DailyConcord
Manchester City – The latest on the players Manchester City have been linked with this January – and who might leave the club…
He told the Transfer Talk Podcast: “You can rule out a move this month. Borussia Dortmund have effectively said as much and that information was echoed to me by someone close to Sancho as well. But I was told that all possibilities are on the table come the summer.
“That means Manchester City are being kept up to speed with developments regarding Sancho’s future because contractually they have an agreement whereby they can match any potential transfer. It was part of the deal when Sancho left Manchester City for Borussia Dortmund back in 2017.
“You’d think Manchester United and Chelsea will all be in the equation but it’s likely to take bids upwards of £100m to prise him away.”
Meanwhile, Sky Sports News‘ north-west reporter Ben Ransom has been speaking about Manchester City’s potential revamp of their squad over the next 12 months, saying a centre-back is still Pep Guardiola’s top priority.
He told the Transfer Talk podcast: “There is truth to it [City signing four-six players over 12 months]. There’s no doubt Man City will be looking to overhaul the squad somewhat. A lot will depend on the uncertainties around players leaving of course, in terms of the absolute number.
“Sane is a player we are expecting to go. Nicolas Otamendi is a player we understand should have been allowed to leave last summer if he’s wanted to. He chose to stay and fight for a first-team place and actually City were lucky in that respect of course with Aymeric Laporte being out for so long.
“Otamendi’s future is another one you would imagine will be sorted out in the summer. He could well leave and that would open up two extra spots on top of the two or three players Man City are already targeting. Anywhere between two or six is probably realistic but I would guess maybe four players, two of them they will be looking at immediately.

“One of which has to be a central defender. They never replaced Vincent Kompany last summer and that was their priority. They tried to sign Harry Maguire, but they missed out to Manchester United, so they spent a year effectively scouting and trying to make sure they get the right central defender in. I fully expect them to make that signing in the summer and go from there in terms of replacing other personnel.”
