Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Manchester City on Sunday, July 26.

The buildup to the summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Manchester City eye possible reinforcements.

The 2018-19 champions did not bring in a single player during the January transfer window, despite suffering a defensive shortage for much of the campaign so far.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings at the Etihad.

Sunday morning's Manchester City transfer talk news roundup:


Manchester City 'keen on Dani Ceballos deal'

Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos during this summer's transfer window.

The 23-year-old has spent the 2019-20 campaign on loan at Arsenal, scoring twice and registering two assists in 35 appearances for the Gunners in all competitions.

The midfielder's existing loan deal at the Emirates Stadium is due to expire next month and as it stands, he will be back at the Bernabeu for the start of next season.

Ceballos is not thought to be in the plans of Los Blancos head coach Zinedine Zidane, though, and is believed to be keen to remain with Mikel Arteta's side next term.

According to Diario Madridista, City are also keeping a close eye on developments and could attempt to bring him to the Etihad Stadium this summer, with head coach Pep Guardiola a keen admirer of his talents.

Ceballos's existing deal at the Bernabeu is due to run until the summer of 2023.



Arsenal, Manchester City 'interested in David Raya'

Arsenal and Manchester City have both reportedly identified Brentford goalkeeper David Raya as a potential signing during this summer's transfer window.

The 24-year-old has been in excellent form for the Bees during the 2019-20 campaign, keeping 16 clean sheets in 46 Championship appearances.

According to 90min, City have identified Raya as a possible replacement for Claudio Bravo, who will be leaving the Etihad Stadium on a free transfer this summer.

The report claims that the Citizens view the Spaniard as the ideal number two for Ederson, but Arsenal have also been credited with an interest in his services.

The Gunners could be in the market for a replacement for Emiliano Martinez ahead of the 2020-21 campaign, and the London giants are allegedly said to be weighing up an approach for the Brentford stopper.

Thomas Frank's side would reportedly be prepared to sell Raya for a figure in the region of £10m.
