While Manchester City have been open to doing business with other Premier League clubs in recent history, they tend not to engage in such exchanges with Liverpool.
Since James Milner’s move to Anfield from the Etihad Stadium, both clubs have steered clear of even trying to sign each other’s players.
With Manchester City and Liverpool gunning for Premier League titles over the past few seasons, it seems highly unlikely that both clubs would sell first-team players to each other anytime soon.
But when it comes to young players, it seems like both clubs have a more lenient policy at hand.

Divin Mubama, who Ipswich Town are targeting was signed by City from West Ham United and the same can be said about Harrison Parker, who left Manchester United to join the Sky Blues — as they have made a habit of signing wonderkids from Premier League academies.
Pep Guardiola’s men are currently finalising the last few details before signing Moss, who is a midfielder by trade.
Players who have played for both Man City and Liverpool
Only six players have ever played for both Manchester City and Liverpool, namely Milner, Raheem Sterling, David James, Robbie Fowler, Dietmar Hamann and Scott Carson.

Moss could technically join such names if his move to Manchester City is finalised, even though he is yet to make an appearance for Liverpool’s senior side.
The Sky Blues seem to be focused on building a team for the future, having signed Vitor Reis, who Manchester City rate very highly in January.
City’s strategy has worked in their favour in the past, with Oleksandr Zinchenko and Julian Alvarez becoming key first-team players after being brought in as potential stars for the future.
