Sources indicate clear stance on £50 million signing as Manchester City poised to hold talks over quartet of first-team exits | OneFootball

Manchester City’s summer window is set to burst into life with a number of significant updates emerging over the last 48 hours both in the way of arrivals and exits.

There has been plenty of discussion over several midfield targets for the Premier League champions this summer, but City Xtra can now reveal that one name is certainly not on the radar as imminently indicated by one source over the weekend.

Reports over a number of potentially major departures from the Manchester City first-team squad also ignited in recent days, with updates over the future of Ederson likely to be most monitored by supporters.

Here is every single update you need to know about concerning Manchester City following days 31 and 32 of the ongoing summer transfer window.
