Pep Guardiola will be eager to strengthen his squad and win the Premier League for a fifth year in a row. Manchester City, who pipped Arsenal to the English top flight title on the final day of the season, have already welcomed Savinho to the Etihad Stadium this summer.

While the 20-year-old winger has been widely dubbed as top young player, his arrival has cast doubt over the future of Oscar Bobb. Interestingly, the 21-year-old, who was handed his senior debut last season, has been briefly linked with a move to Chelsea recently.

Kevin De Bruyne also faces an uncertain future at City, with his contract set to expire in June 2025. So, with that being said, the Manchester Evening News have rounded up the latest news and transfer gossip from the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday morning.

Joelinton drops Guimaraes hint Joelinton has dealt Manchester City a slight blow to their hopes of signing Bruno Guimaraes this summer. In his first interview after signing a new deal at Newcastle United back in April 2024, the Brazilian midfielder revealed whether or not he thinks his fellow countryman will leave St James' Park.

"Yes, I hope he stays," said Joelinton, as quoted by the Mirror. "I know him, he loves the club as well. He loves the fans, he enjoys his life in Newcastle United. He's glad to be there for his life as well as football.

"Newcastle and the club want him to be happy and stay for many years. I think he's going to stay. He tells me he's going to come back next week and get ready for the season."

Manchester Evening News says: "I don't think Bruno Guimaraes will leave Newcastle United this summer, but I can see him moving at the end of next season if the Magpies don't secure European football. He'd be a good signing for City."

Man City eye Walker replacement Kyle Walker appears to face an uncertain future at Manchester City despite having two years remaining on his contract at the Etihad Stadium. According to The Athletic, the Premier League champions would 'step up interest' in Jeremie Frimpong if the England international leaves this summer.

The 23-year-old defender has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United and Liverpool following his impressive performances for Bayer Leverkusen last season. During the German side's unbeaten campaign in the Bundesliga, he featured 31 times, scoring nine goals and providing nine assists.

Frimpong, who left Man City to join Celtic in September 2019, also helped Xabi Alonso's side win the DFB Pokal. With Walker approaching the twilight years of his career, Guardiola has identified the Netherlands international as his replacement.

Manchester Evening News says: "I'm not quite sure whether Jeremie Frimpong would be the perfect replacement for Kyle Walker, but I'm sure Pep Guardiola has a plan to get the best out of the Dutchman in Manchester City's system. Assuming the Spaniard doesn't make any changes to his setup, the Bayer Leverkusen ace would be required to operate as a full-back - not a wing-back, where he played last term."
