Deadline Day Live: Manchester City transfer news and updates

Manchester City come into the final day of the 2023 summer transfer window with plenty still to arrange, both in the way of arrivals and outgoings at the Etihad Stadium.

The final 24 hours of the summer transfer window are likely to be dominated by proceedings concerning some of Manchester City’s outgoing talents, with uncertainty looming over the likes of James McAtee and Taylor Harwood-Bellis coming into Deadline Day.

Elsewhere and the exits of Cole Palmer and Joao Cancelo on permanent and temporary exits respectively are still yet to be formally announced, however that is expected to change across the course of Friday.

Manchester City supporters can also expect the club to formally unveil their newest addition to Pep Guardiola’s first-team squad, after Matheus Nunes underwent medical testing and media formalities throughout the course of Thursday.

Whilst the final day of the summer market may not be as hectic as other clubs, City Xtra are here to keep you up to date with all of the latest transfer news and developments on Deadline Day, with the summer window set to shut at 11 PM [UK] on Friday night.
