After such a slow start to the transfer window, surely the deals will go from a trickle to a flood once Euro 2024 is over. And when the activity does pick up, Manchester City will need to be on the right side of each transfer they are involved in.
Rodri back-up and a £100m decision - Man City's priority in the summer transfer window

Manchester City are - like almost every other club - yet to make a signing in the summer transfer window.

He made it through another year as the best player in the Premier League, yet the warning signs only grew and are loud again.
Signing a player to take the burden off Rodri won't be the most eye-catching decision City make this summer but it is
