Transfer deadline day is underway and it may get busy at Manchester City as boss Pep Guardiola now targets some last-ditch signings and sanctions a host of late outgoings.
The Citizens remain busy in the window ahead of the sales slamming shut to Premier League sides at 23:00 BST on September 1. Guardiola is keen to add the finishing touches to a team he hopes will defend Manchester City’s European treble. While a few may also say goodbye.
Manchester City’s Premier League title defence has started as the Etihad Stadium outfit will mean to go on. They are the only club to win each of their opening three fixtures to claim an early advantage. City even conceded for the only time after 265 of their 270 minutes played.

Yet Guardiola still sees scope to strengthen and has given a handful of players permission to explore pastures new. So, with that in mind, here are some of the signings that Manchester City may target on deadline day and a few of the outgoing transfers likely at Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City’s potential transfer deadline day signings
Deadline day is bound to feature Manchester City targeting the transfer of a new midfielder with Guardiola intent on signing Matheus Nunes from Wolves. The Athletic even reported in the build-up to deadline day that the 25-year-old refused to train with the Molineux natives.
