City’s Transfer Whirlwind: Who’s In, Who’s Out?…
Manchester City is gearing up for a wild last-minute scramble at the Etihad, with as much anticipation as waiting for a cat to make up its mind about which box to sit in. Director of football Hugo Viana has his sleeves rolled up all set for the 7 p.m. hustle, with Ederson possibly packing his bags for Fenerbahce. The Brazilian’s eyebrows might be going up as he hears about his new destination, while the Etihad readies itself to roll out the sky-blue carpet for Gianluigi Donnarumma, the Italian goalkeeper who’s so good he could probably save the Titanic if given the chance.
But wait, the transfer drama is just getting started! Stefan Ortega might find himself left at the proverbial airport as new recruit James Trafford settles in faster than a cheetah on roller skates. Meanwhile, Manuel Akanji and Ilkay Gundogan, who mysteriously turned into benchwarmers at Brighton, might be dancing their way to clubs abroad. Will Issa Kabore pack for a permanent escape, or just a road trip in the form of yet another loan? The clock is ticking faster than a cuckoo clock in a whirlwind as City trims its squad with precision and, dare we say, style.
