π¨ CITY'S WILD SELLING SPREE MIGHT JUST SMASH TRANSFER RECORD TALK
27 August 2026, 05:54
π THE FULL PICTURE:
Manchester City just shifted gears after landing Ayyoub Bouaddi. They've generated 278.5m euros from sales, shipping out Savio, Tijjani Reijnders, Rodri, James Trafford, Manuel Akanji, and Nathan Ake. Bouaddi's arrival pushes spending to 273.7m euros, leaving a positive balance of 4.8m. But this thing's not finished. Tottenham agreed a loan for Omar Marmoush with a Β£60m obligation next summer, so that cash counts toward 2027-28. Nico Gonzalez is expected to leave, and Jack Grealish could too. Grealish spent last season on loan at Everton, who still want him, but he sees Enzo Maresca replacing Pep Guardiola as a fresh start. His contract runs until June 2027. City already dropped 135m euros on Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest, and they're eyeing Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez.
π MY TAKE:
This window is insane, dude. City sold a mountain of talent, stayed in the green, and still rebuilt their whole midfield. If Gonzalez and Grealish go, they're looking at record numbers. The Marmoush timing trick is slick business too, pushing that fee to next season. City's playing chess while everyone else plays checkers. Wild stuff.
