Manchester City are facing frustration in their hunt for a winger, but that could change quickly. The club's to-do list for this summer includes signing another winger, but a clear target has not yet emerged. Manchester City will not sanction the sale of Savinho to Tottenham unless they find a replacement.
What happened?
Several wingers have been named as potential targets for City, including PSG's Ibrahim Mbaye, Everton's Iliman Ndiaye, and Chelsea's Pedro Neto. However, there seems to be a case against City moving for each particular player. In the case of Iliman Ndiaye, perhaps he wasn't a strong target for Manchester City in the first place.
Why it matters for Manchester City
Manchester City's search for a new winger has been a frustrating process, with several potential targets emerging but ultimately falling through. The club's manager, Enzo Maresca, has expressed interest in signing Chelsea's Pedro Neto, but the reported €80 million price tag and Neto's injury history may be insurmountable obstacles.
What comes next?
Manchester City's next fixture is against Chelsea at home on December 12, 2026. The club is currently 7 points behind leaders Arsenal in the Premier League table, with a goal difference of +42. Manchester City have scored 77 goals and conceded 35 this season, with their last result being a 1-2 loss to Aston Villa on May 24, 2026.
Manchester City's current league standing is 2nd in the Premier League, with 78 points from 38 games, and a recent form of 1W-2D-2L. The club is currently sidelined by Rodri, who is not available for selection.
