Manchester City know more than most the value of academy talent.
Sell, marry, avoid - Man City summer transfer priorities with superstar proposal and £60m setback
23.06.2024 - 07:13 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester City have work to do in the transfer window. It's been a slow start with Euro 2024 a distraction, among other things, but there is still plenty time.
Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak is very unlikely to get his annual request of having the squad sorted by the beginning of July, and the club are waiting on key players to make decisions about their futures. The conclusions that Ederson, Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva come to will shape how much or little activity goes on at the Etihad.
There is also plenty expected on the fringes of the squad, with a number of players looking for loans or permanent exits and an expectation that the academy will again produce a significant amount of money. With that in mind, here's a look at what City should be aiming for this summer.

It has to be time to say a permanent goodbye to Joao Cancelo. Even if this summer sees him leave on a year-long loan with an obligation to buy, City don't need another year of their coach being asked about a player that has no future at the Etihad.
City may not be able to get close to the £60m they paid for Cancelo back in 2019, but that is five years ago and they did have some unbelievable highs with the full-back as he was an integral part of the side that won two Premier League titles. If it is worth a cut-price fee to get him off the books and set him free, it feels like that will be worth it having already recouped money from two loan spells.
They may not get hitched this summer, but City have to keep Jamal Musiala in their sights. A firm proposal down on one knee
