Since securing back-to-back promotions to seal their return to the Premier League, have done some positive business in the transfer market.

The England international previously starred for Leeds United in the Premier League, but he struggled for Man City following his £42m move to the Premier League side in 2022.
Phillips has barely featured for Man City over the past two seasons and he also endured a woeful loan spell at West Ham last term.
The 28-year-old midfielder is not short of potential suitors,
‘Ipswich, Everton, and Fulham are all interested in the 28-year-old for this season as they finalise their squads.
‘Manchester City were looking for a permanent sale for the midfielder given he is not part of Pep Guardiola’s plans but would be willing to accept another loan move following his spell at West Ham earlier this year.
‘Everton have been interested for most of the transfer window, and Fulham and Ipswich also have Phillips under consideration. Even if none of the three strike a permanent deal this summer, a loan could be agreed with City.’
