City Xtra
·13 July 2024
While talk around potential arrivals into the Etihad Stadium ground to a complete halt on Saturday, there was plenty of encouraging news surrounding contractual negotiations.
Manchester City will certainly not be letting go of Ederson without a fight this season, and the latest information has detailed the lengths to which the Premier League champions will go in order to retain their number one goalkeeper.
The most significant news of the day however, concerned the future of Pep Guardiola and the growing belief that the Catalan coach could be ready to commit his future to the Etihad Stadium once again and beyond his current expiry of summer 2025.
Following the 30th day of the ongoing summer transfer window, here is your daily and comprehensive round-up of everything reported around Manchester City and their market activity!

City are yet to receive a concrete offer from Saudi Arabia despite admitting of interest. If there is no sign of a quick resolution, he is scheduled to fly out on the upcoming pre-season trip to the USA. (The Sun)

Manchester City will sit down with Ederson’s team next week, offering him a near-75% rise to his current salary keeping him at the Etihad Stadium for the remainder of his peak years. (The Sun)
Talks with Ederson about a new pay deal to stay at Manchester City will commence. While the club will not stand in his way, Saudi Arabian money needs to represent his value to City and the years left on his current deal. Otherwise, City and agent Jorge Mendes will try to broker fresh terms. (Tolmie’s Hairdoo, X)
Pep Guardiola is ready to stay at Manchester City beyond next summer, and initial talks have been very positive. Guardiola has the backing of his wife and children, which is his main consideration. Members of his circle were convinced this would be his last year, but not so now. (Tolmie’s Hairdoo, X)
Pep Guardiola was extremely heartened by conversations held recently in Abu Dhabi with Sheikh Mansour and Khaldoon Al Mubarak. Guardiola’s wife’s business interests abroad, and the whole family still feel at home whether visiting, working, or studying in England. (Tolmie’s Hairdoo, X)
Manchester City would rather pay Pep Guardiola another £15 million a year, rather than hand a similar amount to a player who does not and can not maintain the success which ultimately stems from the Catalan coach and owner Sheikh Mansour. (Tolmie’s Hairdoo, X)
Ipswich Town have agreed a deal with Burnley for goalkeeper Arijanet Muric worth an initial £8 million rising to over £10 million with add-ons, as per David Ornstein, The Athletic. When Muric left Manchester City for Burnley in a £2.5 million deal in 2022, the deal included a sell-on.
