Kwaku Oduroh was released by Manchester City this summer after coming through the academy to under-23 level.

"But what I need to do as well is not just look at the first team, but look at the number of young players we have lost at the football club. All good things come to an end, I guess this is the end of my first chapter, the story doesn’t end here. Oduroh was captain as City won the under-18 Premier League national title in 2021, and he stepped up last season to play a regular role for the under-23 side.

Manchester City have tied down midfielder Rodri on a new five-year contract, keeping the two-time Premier League winner at the Etihad Stadium until at least ...

Rodri is set to have a new midfield partner next season after the Citizens snapped up Kalvin Phillips from Leeds in a £45m deal. Guardiola declared during that summer's pre-season: "We knew it but today I can assure you we have an incredible holding midfielder for the next decade, at least the years he will be here with a contract." They are completely committed to helping me become the best player I can be, and I appreciate their hard work.

Rodri has racked up 151 games for City and twice been a Premier League and EFL Cup winner under Guardiola. He said: "Joining City in 2019 is the best decision I ...

While there is no training footage yet, we've picked out some talking points from the first day of pre-season. The Spanish midfielder, signed in 2019 for £62.8m, endured a difficult first few seasons at the Etihad but came into his own during the last campaign and was one of the best players in their Premier League title win. Read the full story here.

Chelsea are expected to ramp up their pursuit of Nathan Ake, according to a report. The Dutchman has been persistently linked with a move to Stamford Bridge ...

The Netherlands international has always been a solid performer when called upon, and has never complained over his lack of game-time, so is arguably deserving of a move away in search of more regular minutes. A move to Chelsea could guarantee him more regular game-time, given the club have just lost Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen to Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively. However, Ake struggled to break into the Blues' starting eleven during his first spell at the club, and was sold to Bournemouth in 2017.

The latest Man City transfer gossip in the summer window as Nathan Ake and Raheem Sterling close in on moves to Chelsea.

Chelsea are targeting the City centre-back as Thomas Tuchel looks to rebuild his defence after a number of summer departures. Lawrence is a product of the Toffees' academy but hasn’t yet signed on as a scholar at Goodison Park. City would have to pay a fee under the Bosman ruling. City signed Ake from Bournemouth just two years ago, but in his two seasons at the Etihad the Dutch defender has failed to establish himself as a regular starter with Guardiola preferring to play Ruben Dias, John Stones and Aymeric Laporte. The fact that Ake has another three years left on his current contract means City will be keen to recoup — if not turn a profit on — the £41m they paid for him in 2020.

Chelsea are closing in on the signing of Man City defender Nathan Ake, 90min ...

His versatility is seen as an attractive proposition by head coach Thomas Tuchel, with the player able to operate at centre-back, left-back and left wing-back. A former Chelsea player, Ake is keen on a return to the club and therefore it is not anticipated that personal terms will be a stumbling block. Sources have informed 90min that a £45m fee has been agreed with Man City for the Netherlands international, although the exact structure of the deal and add-on sums are yet to be finalised.

Manchester City have made four signings this summer, but a contract extension for Rodri could be their most significant bit of business.

So with a coach who truly believes in him, and an in-built appetite to improve from a sensational season, Rodri may prove to be City's most important signature of the summer. I need to be risky in some parts of the pitch, I can do more assists. Try to understand the moment of the games, that's the key to being a good holding midfielder because it's the clock of the team. "The fact that don't miss passes because you play in a risky position, try to be safe. Be a sponge, take the good things of other players and take it into my game. It is good the confidence we have in each other, and it is one of the reasons that made me continue here.”

“City, I feel, offers me the best chance of winning trophies and that’s why I am so pleased to be staying here for longer.” The holding midfielder has helped City win back-to-back league titles and the League Cup twice during his three seasons at Etihad Stadium. “Joining City in 2019 is the best decision I have made in my career,” the 26-year-old Rodri said.

He said: 'You need to be ready to adapt all the time. There is the option for an extension of one season on a deal that takes him into the Premier League's top three earners. Sterling is on the cusp of joining the Blues in a deal worth £47.5m, rising to £50m and has undergone a medical.

These loans then enhance the financial value of the players and facilitate their sale for a profit. As with Chelsea, there will be criticism for the moral aspect of the model. This is all made smooth by the City Football Group nexus of clubs that has Manchester City at its head. They focus a portion of their recruitment at a later age (17-19). They are not averse to these players making the first team (although Oleksandr Zinchenko is the only one to do so to date), but that is not necessarily the aim. The success stories are obvious: Mason Mount was loaned to Vitesse Arnhem and Derby County, Reece James to Wigan, Andreas Christensen to Borussia Mönchengladbach. So too are the sales: Nathan Ake, Dominic Solanke, Patrick van Aanholt, Tammy Abraham, Fikayo Tomori. All of those joined Chelsea at 16 or under. Chelsea were the first English club to undertake a “loan farm” strategy.

Manchester City have signed Erling Haaland this summer, but Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy doesn't seem too concerned.

“We’ve lost someone great and I hope for him he will enjoy the Bundesliga. He’s also a big loss because of his quality, the impact he makes and also because, for the young players, he’s an example. I study. “So I study.

Raheem Sterling has confirmed his move to Chelsea with an emotional goodbye message to Manchester City.

The Londoner also established himself as a key member of the England squad in that time. In a message shared on his social media channels, Sterling paid tribute to the City staff and players with his trophy-laden spell at the Manchester club now at an end. The Blues have sealed a £45million deal plus £10m in add-ons for the forward who has jetted out to the USA to join his new side for pre-season preparations.

Raheem Sterling has sent a message to Manchester City players, staff and fans ahead of his transfer to Chelsea.

"To the backroom staff, to the office staff, to the fans who have tirelessly supported the team. Great signing, but I still think that they need a 20 plus goalscorer in their squad." "If you’re going to get Sterling then you still need a goalscorer with him. "They need a goalscorer," said Hasselbaink, who played for Chelsea between 2000 and 2004, earlier this month. He entered the final year of his contract earlier this month and City could've missed out on a transfer fee if they refused to sell him.

"I think Sterling is a little bit of a polarising target among Chelsea fans and I think part of that is just because he is so familiar. You can also catch up with the ins, outs and analysis on Sky Sports News. And at 27, he's someone you could still expect to be productive for several more years." The 27-year-old has frequently been accused of spurning clear-cut chances. "We are also seeing an increased willingness from Chelsea to look at Premier League proven targets. And Chelsea need a way to refresh their attacking options, particularly after letting Romelu Lukaku go back to Inter on loan. "I arrived in Manchester a 20-year-old, today I leave as a man.

In 2015, Liverpool sold Raheem Sterling to Manchester City for £49m, making him, at the time, the most expensive English player in history.

Yes, the £45m man’s minutes were always likely to be hit by the arrival of Erling Haaland, but this is still a striker with 90 goals and assists in 159 Premier League games. These deals may indicate that, for the 2022/23 campaign at least, City don’t view Chelsea as a genuine threat. And that’s not the only business the two clubs are doing. Sterling was one of the best youngsters Liverpool had ever produced, and so losing him to a fellow Premier League side only amplified the pain. Liverpool tried desperately to keep Sterling, offering him a £100,000-per-week contract and turning down two offers from City, but they ultimately relented and granted his wish. They had finished second in 2014/15, runners-up to champions Chelsea, while Liverpool were down in sixth, eight points off the top four.

City would pip Sterling’s old club Liverpool to the title by one point, and his two goals in the FA Cup final win over Watford saw him named the PFA Young Player of the Year and Football Writers’ Player of the Year. Sterling played his part to the full, scoring 23 goals in 45 games – he also had his first Premier League winner’s medal to go with the Carabao Cup triumph earlier in the season. He made his debut a month later in a 3-0 win away to West Brom and scored his first City goal against Watford at the end of August. Of the many memorable moments of his career with City, his winning goal deep into added time away to Bournemouth in August 2017 will stick in the mind of those who witnessed his celebration with the travelling fans and subsequent sending off moments later for a second bookable offence. “He will be forever part of Manchester City and we wish him well in the next chapter of his career and he departs knowing he will always be welcomed at this football club.” “He has played a very important part of the successes we’ve had in recent seasons and his dignity on and off the field has been an inspiration to many.
