Man City 'join Liverpool FC' in race for Ryan Gravenberch and more transfer rumours

Manchester City could turn to Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch this summer if they fail to land Jude Bellingham, according to reports.

City are among several clubs said to have expressed their interest in Bellingham, who looks set to leave Borussia Dortmund this summer. The 19-year-old will have his pick of clubs, but reports he is poised to join Real Madrid could force other interested parties to look elsewhere.

Pep Guardiola could lose Ilkay Gundogan this summer, with the 32-year-old's contract in its final few months. The futures of Bernardo Silva and Kalvin Phillips are also uncertain, leaving the Blues boss vulnerable in midfield.

That could see City seek reinforcements this summer, and according to the Mirror they could turn to the out-of-favour Bayern midfielder Gravenberch. The Dutchman has made no secret of his frustration over a lack of minutes in Germany.

Elsewhere, Football Transfers report that City could also turn to AC Milan for midfield reinforcements with Ismael Bennacer on their radar.

Bennacer has been hugely impressive across a range of midfield roles since joining AC Milan in 2019, helping them to the Serie A title last season. The Algeria international has two goals and two assists from 28 appearances so far this campaign and will feature in the Champions League semi-finals.

Guardiola has reportedly spoken to the 25-year-old in the past about a move to the Etihad, and the Blues boss could be forced to act after Arsenal expressed interest of their own.

Bennacer recently signed a new deal with Milan that could keep him at the San Siro until 2027, although that contract is reported to include a release clause of around £50million.
