Manchester City are set for a frantic end to the summer transfer window, with manager Enzo Maresca looking to finalise several deals before the 11pm deadline.
Unusually for the club, City are expected to complete a significant amount of late business this summer. Maresca's later-than-expected arrival has complicated matters, as has the scheduling of the World Cup.
Deals already completed
City managed to complete a £116m deal for Elliot Anderson during the World Cup. Last week, they signed Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille for £85m, but Maresca is still keen to add one or two midfielders to his squad.
Enzo Fernandez is a target for City. The Blues missed Chelsea's unofficial deadline of 5pm on Friday, August 14, but were confident a deal could still be done later if the money was right. After being dropped for Chelsea's wins over Luton Town and Brighton last week, that assumption appears accurate.
Midfield and attack targets
AS Roma's Manu Kone is also a player of interest for City, although signing a second midfielder before 11pm would be a stretch. Kone has also been linked with Chelsea as they prepare themselves to potentially lose Fernandez.
Elsewhere, City will look to strengthen their attack. Savinho and Omar Marmoush's recent departures to Tottenham have left a gap that needs to be filled. Savinho was replaced by his compatriot Allan Elias on Monday, who joined City for a fee that could reach £34.2m.
A replacement for Marmoush is still needed. Everton's Iliman Ndiaye is on City's radar, and it is understood a £65m deal has been agreed in principle with the Toffees.
It was reported on Monday night that City's move for Cody Gakpo is now off after a bid worth a total of £80m was rejected.
