Man City have three signings to make this summer that are more important than a new midfielder

It's not just Manchester City players who have been looking elsewhere for new opportunities this summer.

Ilkay Gundogan has left for Barcelona and the longer contract that comes with it, plus the offer of a fresh challenge at a key time in his career. Aymeric Laporte, Bernardo Silva and Kyle Walker are all linked with City exits in search of more playing time, while fringe players like Sergio Gomez and Kalvin Phillips have vowed to stay at the Etihad and earn their place under Pep Guardiola.

With Mateo Kovacic already replacing Gundogan, and City tabling a bid for Declan Rice before withdrawing from the race, it could be a summer of various incomings and outgoings on the pitch. Fans want a new midfielder, although any new arrivals will likely depend on who else leaves before the end of the transfer window.
