The summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Manchester City eye possible reinforcements.
The 2018-19 champions did not bring in a single player during the January transfer window, despite suffering a defensive shortage for much of the 2019-20 campaign, but they have already started their business for the summer.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings at the Etihad.

Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes is allegedly attracting late interest from Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.
For the best part of a week, it has been suggested that Arsenal are the favourites to complete a £27m deal for the in-demand Brazilian.
However, as well as competition from Napoli, Manchester United have also been recently linked with an approach for the 22-year-old.
While Arsenal remain the clear frontrunners, Sky Sports News journalist Kaveh Solhekol says that City and PSG continue to monitor the situation.
Solhekol claims that the Premier League and Ligue 1 giants have made contact with the centre-back's representatives to enquire over the player's interest.
Lille officials have already acknowledged that Gabriel will leave the club in the coming days.

Arsenal are reportedly 'still ahead' in the race for Lille centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes despite a host of clubs being linked with a late move.
Manchester United have allegedly held talks with the 22-year-old's representatives over a potential move to Old Trafford, while Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City have also been credited with an interest.
According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, United are in discussions with the defender's agents but are yet to open talks with Lille, who are believed to value the Brazilian in the region of £22m.
Romano, meanwhile, claims that Arsenal are still at the head of the queue for the South American, although it remains to be seen whether the Gunners can get a deal over the line.
Gabriel, who has also been linked with a switch to Italian giants Napoli, made 34 appearances for his Ligue 1 side last term, including six outings in the Champions League.
Lille defender Jose Fonte recently hinted that the defender is interested in a move to England.
