Who’s gone in the summer?

I dont know why people are putting Sterling on the out list. Apparently he’s nailed on for a new contract and if Pep was done with him I can’t imagine he’d start him in a CL final.

I would have thought Mahrez was more likely to leave than Sterling. He's had a good season but he is 30 and I could see Foden on the right and Grealish on the left.
 
A lot of the focus is naturally on new strikers, but I think the long term replacement of Dino is a tougher problem.
 
Who ever is coming in it needs to be done already for me as once the euros start nothing is happening. Not the best time to be looking at world class striker & midfielders.

be happy with Kane & Grealish for next season
 
Took a look at Bayern. Lewa has a place at Chelsea if he wants it. If they do it, and go for Haaland now, then it could be incumbent on them to find some money. The new boss wasn't free, although the CB he bought with him was ridiculously underpriced (Bayern acting like scumbags to the last).

Someone mentioned Coman, which makes a tiny amount of sense, a perfect replacement if Sterling left - stupid pace and good technique. But it's likely thought of as a hopeful link, rather than a promising one. The reason he is mentioned is that he is negotiating, and Bayern already have Sane, Gnabry, and Muller for the wings. Gnabry is his direct rival, and has moved ahead in the pecking order. Still, will the new boss see it like that? Going back to Chelsea and Lewa, RW Hodson Odoi was mentioned in the other direction. So.... maybe, I guess, there's just a little smoke there in all that.

Hakimi has been linked with Bayern, presumably as a replacement for Alaba. But Bayern were rumoured to be put off by the 50m+ price. He would suit us as well - if Cancelo did leave, we wouldn't have to sign an outright LB, rather see Hakimi as yet another who can fill in.

Ach. Now I've written it all down, my impression is this is likely just vague possibilities thrown up by the central plot of Lukaku to Chelsea.

Talks initiated for Guardiola sanctioned transfer - Manchester City in 'pole position' for signing

Sport on Tuesday explain Sergi Roberto’s future at Barcelona ‘remains uncertain’, and if he’s not at the Catalan club, he could be at Manchester City next season. The 29-year-old, who can operate as a right-back and a midfielder, has 12 months left on his contract. His desire is to continue at...

Looks most of it bullshit but if wesign him than it cements Pep's bias Roberto is garbage and would be massive waste of space and foreign spot

Sergi Roberto isn't he very much the same sort of player that Rodri is? - Technically good but not much in the way of pace?
