Manchester City may have made a perfect start to the new Premier League season, but there is always more work to be done when you are the defending champions - especially when it comes to transfers.
City have developed a reputation for being savvy transfer operators in recent years, and it was more of the same in the latest summer window as last season's title winners made a huge profit with some excellent sales.
The champions agreed almost £145m of guaranteed sales this summer while only spending £23m themselves on Savinho, with Ilkay Gundogan also arriving on a free transfer.
The standout sale was Julian Alvarez's £64m exit to Atletico Madrid, meaning City will have plenty of cash to spend in January should they wish to.
