Savinho heading to Tottenham, City line up replacement
Savinho is on his way out. Tottenham are closing in on the Brazilian winger, and City are already finalising a deal for his replacement (1). Spurs are confident they will get it done (2). No name yet on who comes in, but the club are not waiting around.
Madrid want Rodri after the World Cup
Real Madrid will try to sign Rodri once the World Cup wraps up Sunday (4). His contract expires next summer. Madrid had other plans earlier, but Rodri was open to the move (6). Losing your midfield anchor the same summer you replace Guardiola is not ideal.
Enzo Fernandez odds tumble, City now favourites
City have emerged as the frontrunners for Enzo Fernandez after a sharp drop in betting odds (3). The Chelsea midfielder would reunite with Enzo Maresca, his former manager. One to watch as the window heats up.
New era, same unresolved cloud
Maresca is in the door. The squad is taking shape. And the 115 charges case still has no resolution (5). It is the backdrop to every move City make this summer, and the silence is loud.
Fan reactions
The subreddit is restless. One thread tracks preseason fixtures criss-crossing time zones in August, with fans worried the squad will be gassed before matchday one. Another post asks bluntly whether City even have academy wonderkids on the level of United's Jj Gabriel. The tone is not panic, but the uncertainty of a fanbase watching their club rebuild without its old certainties.
