Some of you have been sending questions in and Mathew asked me if Manchester City are having a "fire sale" and if the club are "tightening their belt for a specific reason"?
City boss Enzo Maresca made it quite clear during Friday's pre-match news conference that any player that is unhappy at the club is free to leave.
Maresca revealed that Savio had said "from day one" that that he wanted to move, while Omar Marmoush has been unhappy with the amount of gametime he has had since his move from Eintracht Frankfurt. He is too good a player to be playing second fiddle to Erling Haaland.
Tijjani Reijnders and Nico Gonzalez have both failed to nail down first-team places and the club stance has always been, if a bid comes in that matches the valuation of a player, they are free to go if they wish.
City bought Reijnders for £46.5m last summer and made a £6.5m profit on him, while they recouped most of what they paid for Gonzalez last January.
Elliot Anderson has already come in, a deal has been agreed for both Ayyoub Bouaddi and Allan Elias, while speculation around signing Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea has not gone away.
I'm expecting City and director of football Hugo Viana to do some deals before the end of the transfer window.
