Manchester City have shut down the possibility of an arrival in the midfield, focusing instead on finalizing deals for outgoing players, including a big-money exit for one first-team striker talent. The club is continuously linked with various midfield talents but concrete developments have yet to emerge in the summer transfer market, with more talks of departures dominating the current discussions.
Manchester City bosses are seeking urgent clarity on the futures of some first-team players and Academy graduates, while finalizing deals for outgoing players in multi-faceted agreements. The club is not planning a move for Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze and are specifically interested in midfielder Dani Olmo, whose release clause is set to expire soon.

Ipswich Town have agreed to sign Liam Delap for £15 million, with additional add-ons, while similar deals have been agreed with Southampton.
