Manchester City could lose their number seven and number nine in the same transfer window and still come out of it feeling stronger than last season.
City have been quietly efficient in the transfer window this season, sealing a deal for Julian Alvarez in January and wrapping up the biggest transfer in the summer to sign Erling Haaland before there was any chance of a saga or chase to develop.
Agreeing a deal for Kalvin Phillips is another good move, quickly replacing outgoing captain Fernandinho. Given the arrival of Haaland and Alvarez, it's understandable that some players may want to leave, and it seems Gabriel Jesus is set for Arsenal, while Chelsea have approached City to see if Raheem Sterling is available.
If both of those deals go through, City could be looking at an unprecedented transfer window where they sign all their targets and still end up in profit.
