Manchester City had a relatively quiet summer transfer window in 2024, with just two players leaving and two new faces joining the team. Sergio Gomez and Julian Alvarez departed the club, while Savinho arrived from Troyes for £33 million. A surprising return was Ilkay Gundogan, who came back after just one season at Barcelona. Matheus Nunes is considered a loser of the transfer window due to Gundogan’s return, making it harder for him to secure playing time. Stefan Ortega, despite impressing as a backup goalkeeper, may have missed out on a chance to become a number one due to Ederson staying. Joao Cancelo’s move to Al-Hilal also made him a loser of the window, as his priority was to join Barcelona.

Nunes’ struggle for playing time, Ortega potentially missing out on a starting role, and Cancelo not getting his desired move to Barcelona are highlighted as setbacks for the players in City’s 2024 summer window. Despite interest from other clubs, Nunes may still face challenges in securing regular playing time. Ortega, who signed a new contract with City, may have to settle for a backup role instead of becoming a starter. Cancelo’s move to Al-Hilal, after failing to secure a transfer to Barcelona, leaves him dissatisfied with his destination, making him a notable loser of City’s transfer window in 2024.
