All Confirmed Manchester City Transfers for 2025-26 Season

Manchester City is preparing for the 2025 summer transfer window with a mission to revamp the squad following a season that fell short of expectations.

Although the club secured a third-place finish in the Premier League, concerns over Champions League qualification and uncertainty regarding Pep Guardiola’s future sparked calls for significant reinforcements.

As the transfer window opens, City is expected to be active in both incoming and outgoing deals to ensure the team is ready to compete for major trophies in the new campaign.

Incoming Transfers – Summer 2025

• Tijjani Reijnders (AC Milan) – A £59 million move is reportedly agreed, making the Dutch midfielder Guardiola’s first major signing of the summer. The club is yet to officially confirm the transfer.
• Potential Signings:
  • Xavi Simons – Considered an alternative target if the club fails to reach an agreement for Rayan Cherki (Lyon).
  • Rayan Ait-Nouri (Wolves) – City is reportedly making progress in negotiations to land the Algerian left-back.
  • Tino Livramento (Newcastle) – Seen as a long-term replacement for Kyle Walker, who spent part of last season on loan at AC Milan.
