[p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/manchester-city/Wtn9Stg0/"]City[/a] have sold Rodri to Barcelona for £65.3 million, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/reijnders-tijani/f17EnPl3/"]Tijjani Reijnders[/a] to [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/al-qadsiah/tvQZtrTd/"]Al Qadsiah[/a] for £47m and are in the process of discussing a £60m move for [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/gonzalez-nicolas/ID3evg0L/"]Nico Gonzalez[/a] to [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/newcastle-utd/p6ahwuwJ/"]Newcastle United[/a].[/p][p]It's a major midfield shift at a time when new boss [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/maresca-enzo/nJsvYDRG/"]Enzo Maresca[/a] is preparing his side for the first game of the new season against [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/bournemouth/OtpNdwrc/"]Bournemouth[/a] this weekend.[/p][p]And the situation surrounding top target [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/fernandez-enzo/nZnbEVWP/"]Fernandez[/a] now comes firmly into focus.[/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/chelsea/4fGZN2oK/"]Chelsea[/a] remain willing to sell the player despite the self-imposed deadline they set for last week, but they are now changing the terms and valuation attached to the Argentina international.[/b][/p][p]City sources remain adamant they are not happy about discussing anything in excess of £120m but will need to negotiate how a move opens up.[/p][embed guid="41a19c86-a9b2-4ae7-8eee-66662c2ec942" url="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/2088298352106521083" social-type="twitter" /][p]Chelsea believe they can drive up his price at this stage of the window, but City believe the player's stance on the situation should help them negotiate a deal within a price range they are comfortable with.[/p][p][b]Maresca has focus on Chelsea's squad at a time when he needs his City squad to onboard quickly with his plans and team direction. He has also told the City board he is interested in [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/neto-pedro/lxtnUkIP/"]Pedro Neto[/a] and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/gusto-malo/YNCrLSO2/"]Malo Gusto[/a].[/b][/p][infobox id="a26dc69f-5d29-48c9-8d0f-786c18f76a2b" /][p]At this stage, Chelsea have also been pricing those players out of a deal, perhaps knowing that City are increasingly desperate for reinforcements.
