Man City ace player receives mouth-watering £740,000-per-week offer as Premier League champions wait for Barcelona payment

According to a Manchester City insider, the 2024 summer transfer window’s second and third days were characterised by numerous surprises, including both the arrivals and departures of players.

According to a report, the Premier League champions may consider the left-back market this summer as they continue to monitor developments regarding Chelsea’s on-loan prodigy Ian Maatsen and Borussia Dortmund.

It has been reported that Ederson, a Brazilian player for Manchester City, is currently contemplating his future at the Etihad Stadium and has received an extraordinary financial offer from Saudi Arabia in terms of outgoings.

Pep Guardiola’s future has also been the subject of speculation, as rumours regarding the Catalan continue to evolve as the final year of his Manchester City contract approaches and the summer football season continues.

After the second and third days of the summer transfer window, the following is a comprehensive overview of the prospective developments that could affect Manchester City and their business in the upcoming weeks and months.

Manchester City’s reconnaissance presence at the ongoing 2024 European Championships in Germany is considered to be minimal.
