Pep Guardiola will be hoping that Manchester City’s squad is trimmed down before the summer transfer window comes to a close.
Guardiola complained about Manchester City’s squad size after his side won 4-0 against Wolves, admitting that having an excess of players is not “healthy.”
While Everton lost to Leeds on Jack Grealish’s debut, from City’s perspective, they will be content about finally moving him on — albeit on a temporary basis.
Manchester City News confirmed that Ederson is edging closer to joining Galatasaray as it seems like some Sky Blues players could be on the move in the next couple of days.

What Victor Osimhen has done to seal Manuel Akanji transfer
Considering Galatasaray only have to pay £3m to sign Akanji, one would expect them to seal the deal for the Manchester City centre-back.
Victor Osimhen held a phone call with Akanji and urged him to sign for his club.
Osimhen’s statement of intent indicates Galatasaray’s keenness on signing the two-time Premier League winner.
