Kostas Manolas ( Cheap 3rd / 4th CB ? 35m Euros Release Clause)

Unless it generates issues for us Ffp or hinders buying a player we need I'm not bothered about what we spend on a player. He could be another 90 mill, no bother.

The snippet I've just seen online shows he does have more than decent see pace, seems brave, good in the air and the tackle. However, not sure he looks like the type of player who would be influential in the build up but may be better on a rainy Monday Night at Burnley in November.

If you look at are centre backs over the last two seasons Komps, Stones, Laporte and Otto,
I don't think City do back ups at centre backs or in any position except for the keeper.

Whoever comes in is expected to make sure there is no drop off because like Komps or Stones who were out for a while last season due to their form or injury, whoever comes in could be in for months.

Yup fair point ...but 90m for Maguire is nuts

De ligt seems Barca bound

What other options are there...city HAVE to get one in
 
If the Cancelo and Rodri deals happen, I could definitely see this one.

€50m for Cancelo
€70m for Rodri
€35m for Manolas

€155m or £138m before any outgoings

Would put our foreign count at 17 (Ederson, Bravo, Cancelo, Laporte, Manolas, Mendy, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Rodri, De Bruyne, Silva, Bernardo, Gundogan, Sane, Mahrez, Aguero, Jesus) assuming that Danilo and Otamendi are leaving with Cancelo and Manolas replacing them.

Could probably fetch around €40m-€50m for those two, and then we'll have some other money coming in assuming we sell players like Manu Garcia, Aleix Garcia, Douglas Luiz (potentially), Tosin Adarabioyo, Brandon Barker, Mix Diskerud, Anthony Caceres, Pablo Mari, Jack Harrison, Thierry Ambrose, Paolo Fernandes, Lukas Nmecha.

Edit: totally forgot about Delph. Definitely reckon he's off this summer as well.
