Manchester City are ramping up their activity in the transfer market as the summer window draws to a close.
According to renowned Italian insider Gianluca Di Marzio, the reigning champions have established first contacts concerning a move for 27-year-old Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister.
The Citizens are simultaneously exploring a deal for Enzo Fernandez, yet as it stands, there is no agreement in place with Chelsea. This uncertainty has prompted City's hierarchy to swiftly activate an alternative plan in midfield, with Mac Allister being the preferred option.
Furthermore, Manchester City have officially entered the race to sign Dutch winger Cody Gakpo from Liverpool, looking to get ahead of London rivals Tottenham. Enzo Maresca aims to secure crucial positions in midfield and attack before the deadline.
