Transfers

Manchester City now told they are about to sell a player who is in the same bracket as Harry Kane

Manchester City have already made some bold calls ahead of the summer transfer window.

Pep Guardiola has every reason to be unhappy with the 2024/25 campaign – which could incredibly still see Manchester City fail to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.

At one stage, the Citizens were on a dismal run of just one win in 13 games across all competitions, which is simply unacceptable.

As a result, a few senior players could be sold.

Manchester City are ready to sell Jack Grealish – while Ederson also seems likely to head to Saudi Arabia – and as has been well documented, Kevin De Bruyne will depart the Etihad Stadium when his contract expires in June.

Kyle Walker is another with an uncertain future after being loaned to AC Milan in January – and Manchester City have now been sent a message about the England international.

Steven Caulker says Kyle Walker is just as good as Harry Kane

Steven Caulker has now made an interesting comment about the 34-year-old when praising Harry Kane for winning the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich.

Writing on LinkedIn, the Sierra Leone international said: “Harry Kane wasn’t the best player in our youth team. In fact, at the time, I’m not sure I would have even put him in the top five. For context, I came through (the) Spurs academy, where they produced a phenomenal amount of talent in a really short space of time.

“Roll on a few years, and a few loan spells, Harry got his break with Spurs. Harry has gone on to surpass all of us with his incredible individual achievements; the only player in the same bracket is Kyle Walker.”

It comes after Give Me Sport claimed that Manchester City are keen to sell Walker this summer, if AC Milan decide not to trigger their £5m option to buy.

Manchester City have already agreed personal terms with a replacement

Guardiola is certainly ready to move on from the Sheffield-born defender, with plans already in place to sign a replacement.

Manchester City have agreed personal terms with Nicolo Savona, and Juventus are willing to sell the right-back for a sum of around £20m as they are in need of cash this summer.
