Manchester City officials are focusing on renewing the contracts of key players in the coming weeks and months, with a particular emphasis on goalkeeper Ederson. Two renewals have already been finalized for goalkeepers Stefan Ortega Moreno and Scott Carson. Reports suggest that star striker Erling Haaland, who has expressed interest in joining Manchester City in the past, may now be open to a move to FC Barcelona at some point in his career, although he is currently happy at City and the club is making his contract renewal a top priority.
In addition to Haaland, defensive midfielder Rodri is also a renewal priority for Manchester City, with the club hoping to secure a new agreement for him before the end of 2024. Meanwhile, there is interest from Cardiff City in midfield prospect Alex Robertson, whose contract expires in 2025. While Cardiff may prefer a permanent deal, Manchester City is considering extending his contract and potentially loaning him out again following a successful loan spell at Portsmouth.
The transfer window at Manchester City has been relatively quiet in terms of arrivals, with the focus being on contract renewals and potential departures. The club is looking to secure key players like Ederson and Rodri for the long term, while also managing interest from other clubs in players like Haaland and Robertson. The intention is to maintain a strong squad for the future, with a focus on building for success in the upcoming seasons.
