With Erling Haaland and Kalvin Phillips coming in, and Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling reportedly leaving the club, all the talk has been about the state of the Manchester City first-team squad.
Pep Guardiola has always insisted that shaking up the squad year-on-year maintains a consistent hunger for success, so multiple outgoings and incomings were expected this summer.
However, there has also been a shake-up in the youth set-up - both in personnel and policy. In the past, promising youth products such as Tommy Doyle and Taylor Harwood-Bellis have gone out on loan to prove themselves at senior level.
