Manchester City are expected to offload further players in the closing weeks of the transfer window, after James McAtee became the latest first team departure.
The 22-year-old has completed a £30million move to Nottingham Forest having fallen down the pecking order at the Etihad, where first team opportunities were hard to come by last season.
His exit follows the loan departure of Jack Grealish earlier this week, while Ederson and Savinho could follow before deadline day. Neither featured in City's opening day win at Wolves on Saturday amid transfer speculation.
Their departures could prompt City to move in the market and the Blues are ready to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma from PSG should they lose Ederson.
City have already signed James Trafford, Rayan Cherki, Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Marcus Bettinelli and Sverre Nypan this summer.
Kalvin Phillips and Stefan Ortega are also likely to leave, and the outgoings may not stop there. Here's a look at the deals the club have done so far:
