Man City handed extra £2m transfer boost as summer earnings to top £200m

Manchester City could see their maximum summer earnings top the £200m mark on transfer deadline day - without doing a thing.

City have agreed almost £145m of guaranteed sales this summer while only spending £23m themselves on Savinho. Ilkay Gundogan returned on a free transfer to keep the spending down, while Julian Alvarez led the outgoings with his £64m exit to Atletico Madrid.

Pre-agreed deals for Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Tommy Doyle set the summer off to a profitable start, before Liam Delap left for £20m to Ipswich and Joao Cancelo followed late in the window for £21m. Sergio Gomez added £8.4m to the budget, with a number of academy exits taking the agreed sales to £147.25m.

Then there is the £25m Borussia Dortmund must pay for Yan Couto next summer after his one-year loan at the Westfalenstadion, while City also raised £7.9m thanks to sell-on clauses in former players Douglas Luiz and Aro Muric. If Alvarez achieves the performance-related add-ons in his sale, City will get up to £18m more from his exit.

Those figures take City's potential summer earnings to around £198m, while Joel Ndala could still leave in the coming days to PSV Eindhoven to take that number over the £200m mark.

But if he doesn't, a late deadline day move could also bump City over the symbolic £200m mark, as former winger Carlos Borges closes in on a loan move to Wolves a year after joining Ajax.

City earned £17.2m in selling the Portugal U21 winger, who now goes by the name Carlos Forbs, and he scored four goals in 38 appearances in Amsterdam as Ajax struggled last
