Ed002, could you provide an update on Manchester City transfer targets?

{Ed002's Note - Putting aside the timing, MC will look to a CB soon, perhaps a Silva replacement and perhaps a Sane replacement
Caglar Soyuncu (CB) first choice Leicester don't want to sell.
Nathan Ake (CB)
Samuel Umtiti (CB) decision is that he is not up to scratch - to be sold
Ruben Dias (CB) Expect a move to recruit Ruben Dias regardless of talks with two other sides. Benfica will want a premium in January and I suspect Manchester City will throw money at him if they cannot wait until summer and cannot get their first choice.
Pau Torres (CB) Villareal will sell at the right price.
Milan Skriniar (CB) very unlikely option.
Dael Fry (CB) gone very quiet.
Hakon Evjen (RW/CM) may see an approach in January as there is serious interest from elsewhere
Thiago Almada (AM/LW/F) - may involve a long-term "loan" to Sporting.
Mohamed Ihattaren (AM/RM/RW) at the end of 2018 five clubs were invited to watch MI including Chelsea, Barcelona, Olympique Lyon, Benfica and Manchester City. Chelsea have a chap who does look at players on their behalf in the Nederlands but without asking him I don't know if Chelsea have looked again at him recently, but Chelsea could as for him if a deal for MvG is to be done.
Kai Havertz (AM) another David Silva replacement - but very expensive
Jadon Sancho (RW/LW) a potential David Silva replacement - but strong interest from elsewhere and over priced.
Antonio Marin (LW/F) Dinamo Zagreb kiddie interesting Chelsea, Manchester City, Milan, Villarreal and Juventus.
Mikel Oyarzaba (F) Real Sociedad want €45M - price is high - but versatile and perhaps a Sane replacement
Slobodan Tedic (F) will sign in January and stay on loan with Cukaricki
Ibrahim Said (RW/AM) Porto, Manchester City, Sporting, AEK Athens are pushing for the kiddie who also impress scouts from Chelsea, Liverpool, Union Berlin and Braga at the U17 World Cup.}
