Last updated: 15 August 2026. Every transfer below was checked against the sources listed at the end of this article on that date.
Two of the transfer window's biggest remaining stories both involve Manchester City players, and neither is finished.
Rodri to Real Madrid: Genuine Interest, No Agreed Fee
Correction, 15 August 2026: this section originally reported Real Madrid as the club pursuing Rodri. That was based on earlier reporting โ the move under negotiation is actually with Barcelona. Barcelona have made a second offer worth a reported โฌ65m plus โฌ5m in add-ons; Manchester City want closer to โฌ80m. No fee has been agreed.
Real Madrid have made contact with City over Spain captain Rodri, reportedly willing to pay in the region of ยฃ43-51m (โฌ50-60m). City are said to want closer to โฌ80m, given Rodri has just over a year left on his contract before becoming a free agent in 2027. Rodri is reported to be pushing for the move himself.
Savinho to Tottenham: Formal Bid, No Sale Yet
Tottenham have submitted a formal ยฃ85m offer for Savinho, with the winger pushing to leave for more regular football. City reportedly want to sign a replacement first, with Pedro Neto among those linked, before sanctioning his exit. Both clubs remain confident of getting a deal done before the window closes on 1 September.
