Anderson talks stuck on price
City and Nottingham Forest are far apart on an Elliot Anderson fee, BBC's Nick Mashiter reports (2). Forest want something in the region of the £105m Arsenal paid for Declan Rice. City value him closer to £80m, according to talkSPORT. Anderson favours a move to the Etihad over United, which helps, but until the clubs bridge that gap nothing moves forward.
Enzo Fernandez still a concrete target
Enzo Maresca is pushing hard for Enzo Fernandez, with Plettenberg calling it a "concrete topic" (3). Chelsea's midfielder is valued around €120m and Maresca sees him as a player type City simply do not have in the squad. Real Madrid and PSG are also on his shortlist, so this one is far from straightforward.
Lijnders on Bernardo: 'Immune to stress'
Departing assistant Pepijn Lijnders singled out Bernardo Silva for extraordinary praise. "He is immune to stress," Lijnders told Dutch media (1). Both men leave the club this summer alongside Guardiola, making the tribute feel like a farewell salute to one of City's most reliable performers.
Grealish gets a lifeline
Jack Grealish will be given the chance to revive his City career under the new manager, reports suggest (6). After a difficult spell, the door is not closed. With the squad set for a summer overhaul, Grealish staying and fighting for his place is now a genuine possibility.
Fan reactions
The Anderson valuation gap has fans split, some calling £80m already steep while others point to the Rice benchmark as fair. The Nico Gonzalez situation is raising eyebrows too, with supporters noting his lack of minutes and speculating he could follow Guardiola out the door. More on the Anderson saga and the Gonzalez situation.
