Manchester City are waiting to complete the sale of Raheem Sterling to Chelsea before they push for Marc Cucurella from Brighton & Hove Albion, and the Premier League champions look set to wrap up their transfer business with only a £10m net spend if the two £45m deals go through as expected.
Ins (stats from Transfermarkt and excluding free transfers)
- Erling Haaland – £54m from Borussia Dortmund
- Kalvin Phillips – £44m from Leeds United
Pending deals
- Marc Cucurella – £45m from Brighton
Outs (first-team, U23s and U18s)
- Gabriel Jesus – £47m to Arsenal
- Pedro Porro – £7.6m to Sporting
- Ko Takura – £4.5m to Borussia Monchengladbach
- Gavin Bazunu – £12.6m to Southampton
- Romeo Lavia – £11m to Southampton
- Darko Gyabi – £5.2m to Leeds United
- Harvey Griffiths – £0.4m to Wolverhampton Wanderers
Pending deals
- Raheem Sterling – £45m to Chelsea
City have so far spent £98m on Haaland and Phillips while making back £88.3m. If Sterling is sold for £45m, that takes their income generated to £133.3m. Cucurella joining for £45m would take their summer spend to £143m.
Given City have had to sign a left-back, defensive-midfielder and striker this summer, they’ve done extremely well to all but balance the books. Cucurella will replace Benjamin Mendy, Phillips will replace Fernandinho, Jack Grealish can replace Sterling and Haaland will replace Jesus.
