OFFICIAL: Manchester City sign Jeremy Doku in move worth €60m

According to <a href="https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11685/12945207/lucas-paqueta-man-citys-80m-transfer-move-for-west-ham-midfielder-off-amid-betting-investigation" target="_blank">Sky Sports</a>, Manchester City are still interested in signing Lucas Paqueta and could make a move again in January for the Brazilian. The Cityzens and West Ham had come to terms over a fee of around £80m but City stepped out of the race after an FA investigation into him over alleged betting breaches came to light. The 25-year-old has since denied the claims and reports indicate that there is a small chance City will go through with the deal now.However, that could change in January as Sky Sports has reported that sources close to deal believe that City still remain interested and will return in January. But that depends on how the FA’s investigation into the midfielder goes as any potential move hinges on Paqueta passing the inquiry.

As reported by the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/mancity-aymeric-laporte-josko-gvardiol-30637049" target="_blank">Daily Mirror</a>, Manchester City are now looking to sell defender Aymeric Laporte this summer after signing RB Leipzig's Josko Gvardiol. The 21-year-old signed a five-year deal after arriving for a world-record fee and it has seen Laporte knocked down the pecking order. The 29-year-old was a part of the treble-winning side last term but struggled for consistent game-time.Furthermore, reports indicate that City were looking to let the Spanish international leave if they did sign Gvardiol. However, the Daily Mirror has reported that while Laporte has attracted interest from Arsenal, Tottenham, and Aston Villa, City prefers to sell the defender to a club outside England. The report has also revealed that the Cityzens are looking for at least £30m and aren’t willing to entertain offers below that figure.

The Belgian has two years remaining on his Manchester City contract and has been with the club for over eight years. While he is reportedly content in Manchester, the Saudi Pro League's financial might could lead to a tempting offer.The Sunday Mirror reported that the Saudi Pro League believes they can persuade De Bruyne to join their league next summer, following a similar pattern to Riyad Mahrez's move. The league has already signed over half a dozen stars from the Premier League this summer, and are willing to invest substantially to attract top talent.

In an official statement, Manchester City have confirmed that they have signed Josko Gvardiol from RB Leipzig for a move worth around €90m. The Croatian defender has been the club’s top target this summer with the German side holding out for a record fee to part ways with the 21-year-old.The move makes Gvardiol the most expensive defender in footballing history, breaking the record fee that Manchester United paid for Harry Maguire in 2019.

<a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/oferta-prepara-barca-fichar-bernardo-90649486" target="_blank">Sport</a> reports that Barcelona are poised to intensify their efforts to sign Bernardo Silva by presenting an offer of approximately €65m plus €10m in add-ons.

Although Manchester City are open to letting him go, their decision to reject an €80m offer from PSG has raised concerns for Barcelona.

<a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/bernardo-silva-desesperado-venir-barca-90534538" target="_blank">Sport</a> reports that Bernardo Silva is ‘desperate’ on signing for Barcelona this summer despite the fact that their financial issues could hinder any potential move. The club's struggles have been well-documented in recent years, leading to challenges in securing new signings during this transfer window.Nonetheless, Sport indicates that City will not obstruct Silva's departure if he chooses to leave the Etihad Stadium, but they remain firm on their asking price. Reports suggest that the Cityzens value Silva at around €80 million, and there is also reported interest from Paris Saint-Germain in the 28-year-old.

According to <a href="https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1686337824868511745?s=20" target="_blank">Fabrizio Romano</a>, Manchester City has included Jeremy Doku's name on their shortlist to replace Riyad Mahrez this summer. The club is reportedly in search of a new winger and has been linked with Crystal Palace's Michael Olise. However, Romano reveals that Doku has joined Olise on City's shortlist, as they continue to explore their options this summer.While Crystal Palace is demanding a fee of over £50m for Olise, City appears unwilling to meet that price. On the other hand, Stade Rennes has not disclosed Doku's price tag, but reports suggest they could be open to a summer move for the 21-year-old winger.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">EXCLUSIVE: Manchester City now add Jeremy Doku to the list to replace Riyad Mahrez as new winger 🚨🔵 <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MCFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MCFC</a> Alongside Michael Olise (who’s in both City and Chelsea lists), Doku is one of the priority names being considered by Man City. <a href="https://t.co/79NG2fiENm">pic.twitter.com/79NG2fiENm</a>— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) <a href="https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1686337824868511745?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 1, 2023</a></blockquote>

The Frenchman has emerged as City's primary target to replace Riyad Mahrez, who moved to Al-Ahli during the summer. However, the Cityzens faces stiff competition from Chelsea for the talented young star.Rumors suggest that Crystal Palace is attempting to leverage this competition to drive up the price, but City is reportedly unwilling to engage in such tactics. Lee has reported that the club has set a firm £50m limit for Olise's transfer, an amount that Palace deems below their valuation for the winger.

According to the <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/news/sunday" target="_blank">Sunday Express</a>, Manchester City starlet Rico Lewis has become a subject of significant interest this summer, with Everton among the clubs keen on signing the full-back. The report suggests that Everton are not alone in their pursuit as Brighton, Leeds United, Southampton and a dozen clubs in total are monitoring the 18-year-old's situation at the Etihad.Despite the high demand for Lewis, the Sunday Express has revealed that Manchester City intends to offer the Englishman a new long-term contract. This is because Pep Guardiola sees Lewis as a crucial part of his squad, which could potentially dampen the interest from other clubs.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City will have to shell out a fee in the region of €100m for the services of their transfer target Josko Gvardiol. The RB Leipzig defender has been one of the shining stars of the season and has attracted attention since his heroics in Qatar in the previous edition of the World Cup. With Manchester City expressing their massive interest in signing the centre-back, Romano suggests that Pep's side will have to pay a massive amount to secure his signature. Speaking in an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.caughtoffside.com/2023/06/12/exclusive-man-city-will-need-around-e100m-to-bring-in-demand-defender-to-the-etihad/" target="_blank">exclusive interview with CaughtOffside</a>, Romano commented on the future of Gvardiol:&nbsp;“More than €80m, the most expensive centre-back in the history of the game, this is the idea of RB Leipzig. I’m not sure €80m or €85m will be enough. Sources close to Leipzig believe it could be around €100m to sign Gvardiol this summer."
