Manchester City has entered a period of uncertainty following the departure of its long‑time manager and the appointment of a new head coach. The club is now reassessing its squad as it prepares for the upcoming season.
Among the most discussed potential exits is midfielder Rodri, who may seek a move to Real Madrid. His departure could trigger further changes within the team.
Forward James Trafford has attracted interest from Leeds United, while Tottenham has pursued Brazilian winger Savinho, who has expressed a desire to leave the club. Negotiations have been ongoing since June, with the final decision pending City’s stance.
Dutch defender Matthijs Reijnders, who has struggled to secure a regular place in English football and is no longer a young prospect, remains a target for clubs looking to strengthen their backline. It remains to be seen how far City will go to secure his services.
With the new coaching regime, the summer of 2026 is likely to bring significant squad reshuffling. The club’s future direction will depend on the outcomes of these transfer discussions.
