Manchester City have had a very successful transfer window and they have landed the world-class striker they wanted in Erling Haaland and replaced Fernandinho with Kalvin Phillips.
Despite splashing out £100million on these two, they have still made a profit of over £50million this summer because they have sold the likes of Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus.
There could be more ins and outs before the transfer window closes on Thursday, although perhaps not major deals.
Mirror Sport has the latest transfer news, including the latest on Barcelona’s interest in Bernardo Silva.
Xavi responds to Guardiola over Silva
The Manchester Evening News have carried Barcelona boss Xavi’s response to Pep Guardiola’s insistence that Bernardo Silva is not for sale.
Barcelona have been tracking Silva all summer and the Portugal star reportedly would be interested in securing a dream move to the Nou Camp.
Guardiola insists Silva will not be leaving before Thursday’s transfer deadline because he is a key player, which has prompted Xavi to say he still feels there is a small chance. “You never lose hope, but it’s difficult, it’s complicated,” he said. “We’re only a few days away. We must have players leaving too.”

City’s transfer war chest for January revealed
The Manchester Evening News claim Pep Guardiola will have £100million to spend in January should he need it.
City are conscious of the effects of playing a World Cup in the middle of the season, especially if any key players pick up serious injuries. The Blues do not want anything to derail their quest for more silverware, especially the Champions League, and will make £100million available to Guardiola.
City are in an extremely healthy position and they have banked over £50million from this summer by selling the likes of Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko.
City starlet wanted on loan by Bundesliga giants
The Hard Tackle claims Borussia Dortmund want to sign City’s England Under-21 star Cole Palmer on loan.
Palmer, 20, is tipped for a big future and he has already made 14 senior appearances for the Blues. City rejected an offer from Newcastle to sign him on loan last season and Guardiola may be reluctant to let him join Dortmund.
Guardiola is a huge fan of the playmaker and may feel he will develop more if he continues to work every day with him in training.
