Day 23 brought about very little in the way of significant developments, but there was the mention of Josko Gvardiol, Neymar, and Bernardo Silva… Yes, you read that right.

Unfortunately for those hoping to see the Brazilian icon in the sky blue of Manchester City next season, the latest transfer rumour concerning the Paris Saint-Germain megastar involves one of City Football Group’s many clubs as opposed to the Premier League champions.

The Bernardo Silva rumour mill also continues, as the Portugal international enjoys his honeymoon with his representatives working tirelessly in the background to come to a conclusion over his next steps in the game.

Here is your daily and complete breakdown of everything regarding Manchester City in the summer transfer window!
