Bundesliga quartet on Manchester City’s transfer radar as Pep Guardiola ‘whispers’ float around ‘football circles’

With two weeks into the ongoing summer transfer window, Thursday brought a host of familiar names to Manchester City fans.

In terms of arrivals, plenty of names have been mooted quite a bit, from a Bayern Munich duo to the latest surrounding Eberechi Eze and Pedro Neto from the Premier League.

The latest edition of the Daily Transfer Roundup also includes an update on Pep Guardiola’s contract future as concerns continue to linger over the Catalan’s current contract with Manchester City and its summer 2025 expiry date.

As the two-week mark hits the ongoing summer 2024 transfer window, here’s a comprehensive daily round-up of everything reported on Manchester City and their dealings in the market!

arrivals

Fabrizio Romano: “Man City appreciates Dani Olmo, Man City like the player, was one of the players they had on the list, for example last summer or two years ago. But at the moment, as of now, Manchester City are NOT working on a deal for Dani Olmo…”

“At the moment, Manchester City’s intention is not to move forward on this type of solution, because they are looking at different opportunities, different positions. So as of today, is Dani Olmo going to Man City? NOT. At the moment the situation is calm.” (Fabrizio Romano, YouTube)

from Bayern Munich Joshua Kimmich and Jamal Musiala have been scouted and vetted by Manchester City as elite additions for the future if they become possible. A few months ago, City were aware of Kimmich’s potential availability and Pep Guardiola has always relished the idea of bringing him in. Arsenal have been linked, but the prospect of a link with the Premier League champions is the most exciting. Kimmich signing is more likely than Musiala. (Dean Jones, GIVEMESPORT)

Dani Olmo he is believed to be at the top of Manchester City’s signing list. The 26-year-old has been in City’s sights should other plans fall through, and the club already have good relations with Leipzig, having dealt with them to sign Josko Gvardiol. (Dean Jones, GIVEMESPORT)

from Bayer Leverkusen Jeremy Frimpong is of interest to Manchester City. (Dean Jones, GIVEMESPORT)

wolves Pedro Neto he is available for the right price this summer and Manchester City are interested in him. The Premier League champions also have a distant interest in Crystal Palace Eberechi Eze. (Dean Jones, GIVEMESPORT)

Manchester City made a late move to upset Bayern Munich Michael Olise business. City are believed to have made contact with Olise’s camp to try to force him to change his mind late on, but the Premier League champions’ ambush failed. (Pete O’Rourke, Football Insider)

Pep Guardiola is currently on the hunt for a “world-class” striker to be an immediate starter in his Manchester City squad. (Pete O’Rourke, Football Insider)

Jadon Sancho has been offered to Manchester City in recent weeks. Manchester United are ‘willing’ to sell for £40million, while the forward has also been offered to Chelsea and Arsenal. Agerul earns around £275,000 a week and there is no one taking those wages. (Tolmie’s Hairstyle)

Reported target from Manchester City, Dzenan Pejcinovic signed a long-term contract with VfL Wolfsburg. VfL Sporting Director Sebastian Schindzielorz: “It is no coincidence that Dzenan has attracted the interest of top European clubs, which makes us all the more excited to continue our journey together in the long term…”

Oliver Reiss will become Manchester City’s new under-18 head coach. The 41-year-old will leave Hertha BSC after 17 years at the club and could have become an assistant coach at RSC Anderlecht and Hertha, but “consciously chose” the City opportunity. (Florian Plettenberg)

Rayan Ait-Nouri informed Wolves of his intention to leave the club this summer. Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool are ‘chasing’ the 23-year-old, although the Merseyside outfit are currently in pole position to land the left-back. (Abdel Hamed)
