The latest Man City transfer news: every confirmed deal in the 2026/27 window, who they’re linked with, and the odds on what happens next. Updated 20 August 2026.
The guard has changed at the Etihad. Rodri completed his £51m move to Barcelona yesterday, following Bernardo Silva, John Stones, Nathan Aké and Manuel Akanji out of the club in a single summer — five pillars of the Guardiola dynasty gone in nine weeks.
The reset has a centrepiece: Elliot Anderson, a club-record £116m from Nottingham Forest, the fee that reset this summer's market. Talks are live with Lille for Ayyoub Bouaddi to complete the midfield remake before the deadline. Every fresh piece of Man City transfer news is added here as it breaks.
