Manchester City have enjoyed an incredibly busy summer transfer window with significant changes occurring within Pep Guardiola's first-team squad and a number of deals taking place at youth level, both permanent and on loan.
Here's what we managed to keep tabs on:
INCOMINGS
Julian Alvarez: Signed from River Plate in January for a reported £14 million, the dynamic Argentine striker linked up with his new teammates in Manchester this summer after the powers that be at the Etihad Stadium agreed to pay a further £1.3 million to curtail his loan spell in South America. The 22-year-old signed a five-and-a-half-year deal at the start of the year.
Erling Haaland: The club's marquee signing and already the signing of the season so far with his staggering goal return. The 22-year-old was signed from Borussia Dortmund after his £51 million release clause was paid, and the Norwegian has signed a five-year deal, taking him to the summer of 2027.
Stefan Ortega: Following Zack Steffen's decision to leave in search of regular game time ahead of the Qatar World Cup, Ortega was signed on a free transfer following the expiration of his contract with Arminia Bielefeld – and despite the club's relegation from the Bundesliga, the 29-year-old stopper emerged as one of the standout goalkeepers in the division. The German has signed a three-year deal with the Blues.
Kalvin Phillips: Signed from Leeds United in a deal worth a reported £42 million with a further £3 million in add-ons, the 26-year-old holding midfielder was signed to fill the void left by club legend Fernandinho. The England international signed a six-year deal taking him to the summer of 2028.
Emilio Lawrence: Joining from Everton, the 16-year-old midfielder has signed for City on a long-term deal and will feature for the academy side. Details on a potential transfer fee are currently unknown.
Sergio Gomez: A midfielder/forward turned left-back to replace a midfielder turned left-back in Oleksandr Zinchenko. Gomez was initially thought of as a high-potential development signing, with the plan of going out on loan to Girona, but following the club's reluctance to meet Brighton's valuation of Marc Cucurella, the 21-year-old emerged as the best solution for Guardiola at left fullback. The Spaniard was signed from Anderlecht, where he had worked with Vincent Kompany – who discussed the player with Guardiola – for a reported fee of £11 million plus bonuses, signing a four-year deal.
Manuel Akanji: The Swiss international central defender signed from Borussia Dortmund for an initial £15 million plus a further £1.7 million in add-ons to provide defensive cover with Aymeric Laporte and Nathan Ake recovering from injuries, which had left Guardiola with two fit senior centre-backs in Ruben Dias and John Stones. The 27-year-old joins on a five-year deal.
OUTGOINGS – PERMANENT
Fernandinho: The 37-year-old club captain and legend bid his City farewell after nine immense years and joined Athletico Paranaense in Brazil – the club he began his senior career with – on a free transfer. The Brazilian won 12 major honours with the Blues, including five Premier League titles and is widely regarded as one of the league's greatest holding midfielders.
Mohammed Aminu: 22-year-old attacker Aminu was released by City. The Ghanaian spent the last two seasons on loan at City Football Group side Lommel SK in Belgium.
Thomas Agyepong: 25-year-old Ghanaian attacker Agyepong is currently listed without a club, having also spent the last two seasons on loan at Lommel.
Kwaku Oduroh: The 19-year-old right-back was released by City and has since joined Derby County.
Jayden Braaf: The highly-rated 20-year-old attacker has been snapped up by Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer after the player's time at City came to a bitter end, owing to rumoured attitude concerns.
Pedro Porro: The right-back was snapped up permanently by Sporting for €8.5 million after the Lisbon club triggered their purchase option following the player enjoying a successful two-year loan in the Portuguese first division. City are reported to have an option to buy the 22-year-old back for €20 million.
Gavin Bazunu: Following Southampton's acquisition of City's Head of Academy Recruitment, Joe Shields, to be their Head of Senior Recruitment, the Saints' raid on City youth kicked off with goalkeeper Bazunu, who enjoyed a successful loan spell at Portsmouth and made a name for himself with the Irish national team. The 20-year-old left the Blues in a deal worth an initial £12 million with a further £3 million in add-ons, with City maintaining a buy-back clause and a sell-on clause valued at 20% of the profit made on a future transfer.
CJ Egan-Riley: The 19-year-old defender joined Burnely following the expiration of his contract with City, who netted compensation of an initial £350,000 that could rise to £1 million if performance triggers are met. City have also maintained a sell-on clause valued at 30%.
Gabriel Jesus: After six years at the Etihad Stadium and with only a year left on his contract, the Brazilian forward left to join Mikel Arteta's Arsenal for £45 million with a guarantee of more regular game time as well as more prominence in general within the football club. The 25-year-old joined the Blues from Palmeiras in 2016/17 for a reported £27 million and would go on to win nine major honours with the club, including four Premier League titles.
Ko Itakura: Borussia Monchengladbach signed the central defender for a reported €5 million plus a potential €750,000 after the Japan international enjoyed a successful loan spell with Schalke in 2.Bundesliga last term. The 25-year-old was signed by City in 2019 from Kawasaki Frontale for a reported fee of close to £1 million.
Darko Gyabi: Leeds United signed the 18-year-old midfielder in a deal that ran simultaneously with the Kalvin Phillips transfer. The England youth international joined Jesse Marsch's side in a £5 million deal, with no additional clauses or bonuses.
Romeo Lavia: Highly-rated holding midfielder Lavia joined Bazunu at Southampton for a reported initial fee of £10.5 million with a further £3.5 million in bonuses, and the 18-year-old has impressed immensely for Ralph Hasenhuttl's side so far. City have inserted a number of clauses in the deal that took the Belgian youth international to St. Mary's, including a buy-back clause valued at around £40 million, a sell-on clause valued at 20% and the opportunity to match any future bids for the player.
Raheem Sterling: City's most high-profile exit involved the senior England international leaving for Chelsea in a deal reportedly worth between £47.5 million and £50 million. After seven years with the Blues and only a year remaining on his contract, the 27-year-old was left without a guarantee of regular playing time, so the Etihad was switched for Stamford Bridge. Sterling joined City from Liverpool in 2015 for a reported £49.5 million and went on to win ten major honours with the club, including four Premier League titles.
Oleksandr Zinchenko: The Ukrainian linked up with Jesus and Arteta at the Emirates after the Gunners agreed to pay £30 million plus a further £2 million in bonuses for the left-back/midfielder's services. Zinchenko was signed by City from FC Ufa in 2016 for a reported fee between £1.4 million and £1.7 million and went on to provide cover at left-back for Guardiola and won nine major honours with the club, including four Premier League titles.
Aro Muric: Linking up with Kompany at Turf Moor, the Kosovan international joined the Clarets for a reported ~£2.5 million plus add-ons, with City maintaining a buy-back clause on the 23-year-old shot-stopper as well as a sell-on clause and the opportunity to match any future bids.
Ryotaro Meshino: Having joined City in 2019, the 24-year-old Japanese attacker returns to Gamba Osaka – the club from which he was signed – on a free transfer.
Luca Barrington: Brighton have signed the 17-year-old attacker from City on a three-year deal for their academy side. Details of the deal including a potential transfer fee are currently unknown.
Pablo Moreno: The 20-year-old striker has joined C.S. Maritimo on a permanent deal from City with details on a potential transfer fee currently unknown.

Juan Larios: Joining Edozie in a Deadline Day transfer to Southampton is 18-year-old left-back Larios, with the Saints paying £6 million for the Spaniard. City have maintained a buy-back clause, a sell-on clause valued at 20%, and the option to match any future bids.
