Something fishy about City's transfer plans?

They will buy Cucurella from Brighton for LB, and Kalvin Philips from Leeds to play CM

But then, apparently, they are selling both Jesus and Sterling (to Arsenal and Chelsea respectively), and they have an 'unofficial' pact with Bernando that if Spanish giant comes for him (like Barca now) they will let him go if they get the right money.

But, that's too many outgoings, especially in the winger area of their team.
How are they going to replace them?

OK, we got the answer today of what happens if they sell Bernardo (on the top of Sterling Jesus) to us:

Pep Guardiola wants Jo?o F?lix at #ManCity. However, negotiating depends on the exits of Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling to open space in attack and balance financial fair play

That's interesting. Maybe he's anticipating that Haaland will have some teething problems, which I expect to happen. His link-up play is Lukaku-tier at present.

Possibly more concerned with Grealish. Jesus and Sterling both have a year left so City are trying to get 100m out of them before leaving for free next year's.

Pep has always had a hard one for Joao luscious hair.

Manchester City have reached an agreement with Leeds United for the signing of Kalvin Phillips, The Athletic understands.

England international Phillips is moving closer to a transfer to the Etihad following positive discussions between City and Leeds over a fee.

City are poised to pay ?42m with potential bonuses valuing ?3m.

It's an interesting move. Maybe they anticipate they'll be doing more defending on the counter with Haaland in the team.

Could well end up getting 125m odd in sales for likes of Sterling, Ake and Jesus as well on top of 55m they got in Jan for Torres.

They are after the net spend quailty trophy from Liverpool truly.

Don't forget the small amounts from non first teamers they sell this window.

5m Ko Itakura
14m Gavin Bazunu
6m Darko Gyabi

Also close to selling Romeo Lavia for more than 10m.

Another 35m.

They are being ran very very smartly by those Catalans and the team around them.

Think they will need a run wide man & a class back up for walker and their set.
