The Post published an article discussing Manchester City's current transfer market trends, saying that the team's main task is to clear redundant staff.

Manchester City has spent more than 150 million pounds to sign attacker Serky, midfielder Reindes, full-back Ait Nuri, Norwegian potential star Nipan, and repurchasing youth training goalkeeper Trafford. However, the team still lacks a senior right-back. Nunes, Lewis, Akanji and Kusanov have all played in this position, among which Lewis performed the best, and Nunes' defensive ability has also improved after training. Currently, Manchester City is negotiating a contract renewal with Lewis and Ruben Dias.

Manchester City's record £715 million season revenue shows they have no problems with their budget, and the new 10-year £1 billion contract with Puma further consolidates the club's financial situation. However, Manchester City does have a clear goal of reducing wage spending, with the club's total salary reaching 422 million pounds, which they hope to further reduce, such as replacing high-paying players like De Bruyne (380,000 pounds a week) with incentive contracts from young players.

Although Manchester City said the signings came to an end, they claimed there was no plan to offer Newcastle right-back Liframento and no negotiations with other right-backs. But it should be noted that Manchester City's transfer policy has changed in recent months. For example, the initial rumor was that Manchester City had priority to right back instead of left back, but they later signed Wolves left back Ait Nuri. They chose Sherkey when all parties expected City to sign Gibbs White from Nottingham Forest. It can be imagined that if there is a club willing to sell the team's right-back for the same price, Manchester City will consider it.

A key question for Manchester City this summer is who will leave the team. There are as many as 27 players who will go to the United States to participate in the Club World Cup this time, which does not include Gralish, McCarty and the injured Kovasic. The problem of bloated lineup needs to be solved urgently. Manchester City's new football director Viana now needs to loan young players to the right club or fight for a reasonable transfer fee for already mature players.

young players Nipan, Reis and Echeviri may be loaned out, and Ortega will leave after signing back to Trafford. The latter wants to be a team and has attracted the attention of many Premier League clubs. Unless there is a sky-high offer, Manchester City hopes that Ederson can stay in the team. Nottingham Forest's recent offer of £25 million McCarty was rejected, Frankfurt is also a strong contender for the player. Whether Leipzig takes action against McCarty will depend on the future of Chelsea target Xavi Simmons, Dortmund is also paying close attention to the situation, and McCarty's transfer will bring a buyback clause.

Everton sees Gallish as a potential heavyweight signing, and the whereabouts of the players may become clearer as they enter August, and Naples has expressed interest. Phillips is recovering from Achilles tendon surgery. Gundogan has attracted the attention of Galatasaray, and Kovaci also has many suitors. These players will clarify their future in the next few weeks. Youth training player Endara has confirmed to transfer to Hull City, and Simpson Pusey may join the Celtics, but Swansea and Derby County are also interested in him. Hoffenheim's offer for Doyle was rejected last month, Udinese also intends to sign him, while some English teams hope to be loaned, but both Manchester City and players tend to transfer permanently.
