A revelation has emerged about a Manchester City player’s potential move to another European club now.
City will be determined to make as many sales as possible to finalise the futures of players who wish to depart the club.
Rarely does a player who demands an exit kept at the Etihad Stadium — with the Sky Blues even willing to do business in January — as exemplified by Ferran Torres’ sale to Barcelona in 2022.
Furthermore, Guardiola is known to prefer having a small squad at his disposal — while sending a player on loan is futile is suitors have lined up to secure their services.
A player whose future at Manchester City is yet to be finalised is Yan Couto.

Journalist shares how Yan Couto feels amid Man City and Borussia Dortmund transfer deal
It was reported by Fabrizio Romano that Borussia Dortmund are “closing in” on a €25 million (£21.1 million) deal to sign Couto.
Two weeks ago, it was reported that the Brazilian had agreed a deal to join Dortmund.
But several updates have emerged about the potential transfer.
Journalist Patrick Berger has claimed that Couto is “waiting for a breakthrough” in the negotiations between Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund — which should occur this week.
Berger revealed that the 22-year-old is ready to travel with his “suitcase packed at home.”
The journalist further stated that the German giants wish to pay an initial €20 million (£16.8 million) fee followed by €5 million (£4.2 million) to sign the talented right-back on loan.
Manchester City, whose stance firmly remain to sell Couto permanently are even willing to offer some “concessions” regarding the fee provided Borussia Dortmund decide to sign him on a full-time basis.
Currently, details like the aforementioned revelation are being discussed between both clubs.
The English juggernaut are allowed to only send six players on loan and they prefer to reserve the sixth spot for another player.
Only time will tell whether Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund will come to terms and allow Couto to make his potentially desired move to Germany; with the player expected to join the Bundesliga giants’ training camp in Bad Ragaz, Switzerland if the move is finalised.
