After a busy start to the summer transfer window in terms of incomings, Manchester City are expected to focus most of their attention on outgoings before the transfer window closes.
James Trafford joined Rayan Cherki, Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Marcus Bettinelli and Sverre Nypan on the list of new recruits earlier this week. Pep Guardiola has already admitted he doesn't want a group of players as big as last season's, so something is going to have to give.
Jack Grealish, James McAtee, Kalvin Phillips and Stefan Ortega are all likely to leave this summer, and the outgoings aren't expected to stop there. Joel Ndala is the latest player to leave the Etihad this summer after he completed his loan move to Hull City in a bid to kickstart his career.
It promises to be a fascinating summer of business at the Etihad, so here's a look at the deals the club have done so far:
