The Manchester City transfer market has been very busy. The Mancunians have completed a profound renovation of their squad with four of the top five most expensive sales in their history concentrated in this new cycle. Savinho, Omar Marmoush, Tijjani Reijnders, and Rodri have left the club for fees of 87, 65, 61, and 60 million euros, respectively.

The departure of Savinho to Tottenham was confirmed on August 25, for a sum of 87 million euros, while Marmoush has also taken the same path. City had already transferred Reijnders to Al-Qadsiah and Rodri to Barcelona.

Manchester City turns sales into a reconstruction tool

The case of Savinho is the most striking in terms of volume. The 22-year-old Brazilian winger leaves Manchester City for Tottenham after playing 84 matches, scoring 7 goals, and providing 16 assists for the English club. The deal reaches 87 million fixed plus 13 million in variables, as reported in Spain. 

Marmoush has also ended up at Tottenham. The Egyptian forward joined City in January 2025 from Eintracht Frankfurt and leaves the club after recording 16 goals and 5 assists in his time as a City player, in a deal worth 65 million euros. 

These two transactions also reflect a sporting decision: Manchester City is willing to part ways with recently added players if they do not have a central role in the new squad. Marmoush had played in 36 games during the last season but was only a starter in 16 matches. 

Rodri and Reijnders mark the change in midfield

The transfer of Rodri carries a different significance. The 30-year-old Spanish midfielder ended a stint of 298 matches and 28 goals with Manchester City to sign with Barcelona until 2030. The transfer was settled at 60 million euros fixed plus variables. 

A day before, Tijjani Reijnders also left, joining Al-Qadsiah for around 61 million euros after just one season in Manchester. The departure of the Dutchman, along with Rodri's, forced City to seek alternatives to rebuild its midfield. 

The contrast is evident: while the club sells crucial pieces, it is also reinvesting those earnings to finance a new squad. Elliot Anderson arrived from Newcastle for around 116 million pounds, and City is also working on other midfield acquisitions, such as Enzo Fernández.

Guardiola's departure accelerates the change

Pep Guardiola's exit has ushered in a new era at Manchester City, directly impacting the market: several players linked to the previous cycle are leaving the team. In Savinho's case, current coach Enzo Maresca confirmed that the Brazilian had expressed his desire to leave from the start. 

A similar pattern had emerged with Julián Álvarez, sold to Atlético Madrid for 75 million euros two years ago, a sum that had previously topped the club's sales ranking. With Savinho, Marmoush, Reijnders, and Rodri, four of the five most expensive deals in City's history belong to this renovation process. 

Manchester City has not yet completed its rebuilding; the market remains open until September 1, and the club continues to consider new departures while seeking additions for Maresca's team. Therefore, the recent deals involving Savinho, Marmoush, and others are part of an ongoing squad overhaul that will continue to take shape in the final days of the market.
