Transfer latest on five midfielders either joining or leaving Manchester City this summer

Transfer latest on five midfielders either joining or leaving Manchester City this summer Manchester City are continuing to face a string of challenges and decisions in the midfield department this summer. Sporting director Hugo Viana is expected to sign at least one marquee name in the centre of the park, with Elliot Anderson the No.1 target. Aside from Bernardo Silva, there could be further exits from the current roster with doubts concerning Rodri and Nico Gonzalez. A new report has offered the very latest on the situations concerning five midfielders linked with either joining Manchester City or leaving the club this summer. With Pep Guardiola departing the club after 10 years in position as manager, and 20 trophies won during that period, Manchester City are preparing to welcome in a new era – expected to be guided by former Chelsea and Leicester tactician Enzo Maresca . Coupled with the Italian’s arrival, and despite the widespread work that has been undertaken on rebuilding an ageing squad over the last 18 months, further significant changes are expected over the coming weeks. Much of that work centres around midfield, and with Bernardo Silva leaving the Etihad Stadium after nine years upon the expiry of his contract, at least one opening is expected to emerge for fresh faces to be recruited. Anderson, Tonali, Rodri transfer latest at Man City Now, as reaffirmed by MailSport’s Simon Jones , Manchester City are continuing to negotiate a British transfer record fee for  Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson , while the club could also buy Newcastle’s Sandro Tonali . Links to the latter stem from ongoing uncertainty surrounding the likes of Nico Gonzalez , with the Spaniard reportedly looking to leave the Etihad Stadium this summer, while there is also a possibility City could sell Tijjani Reijnders , with Atletico Madrid interested. Elsewhere within City’s midfield ranks, Ballon d’Or winner Rodri has indeed been offered a new contract by officials within the football club, but has yet to agree terms with his existing deal running until the end of the 2026/27 season. What else are Man City looking to do in the market? While midfield alterations will no doubt dominate headlines given the fees discussed around Elliot Anderson and the magnitude of a potential Rodri exit, there remains other areas of intrigue for supporters in the squad. At right-back, Hugo Viana and Manchester City are believed to be eyeing reinforcement to add competitiveness to Matheus Nunes – who is expected to remain the club’s first-choice in the role after a stellar 2025/26 season from the Portugal international. Among the names under consideration in that position is Feyenoord’s Givairo Read – with the Dutchman also believed to be on the radar of Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich. In the attacking positions, Savinho remains a player of serious interest to Tottenham , and Manchester City would almost certainly enter the winger market in the event of an exit for the Brazilian forward.
