Nathan Ake and Ruben Dias arrived for a combined sum of more than £100m, while Ferran Torres was another notable signing. Attention will now switch to the January window as Pep Guardiola's side attempt to win back the Premier League title.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings at the Etihad.
Saturday morning's Manchester City transfer talk news roundup:
Manchester United 'weighing up Sergio Ramos move'

Manchester United are reportedly keeping a close eye on Sergio Ramos as the speculation surrounding the Real Madrid captain's future continues to gather pace.
The 34-year-old has still not penned a new contract at the Bernabeu, and as it stands, he would be able to discuss terms with foreign clubs in January ahead of a free transfer next summer.
A number of sides, including Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus, are said to be monitoring developments surrounding the Spain international.
However, according to Marca, United are also weighing up an approach for the inspirational centre-back, who is believed to be looking for a two-year extension with Zinedine Zidane's side.
Ramos was strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford in 2015 before ultimately signing a new long-term contract with Madrid.
The Spaniard has scored 100 times in 660 outings for Los Blancos, including an impressive 13 goals in all competitions during the 2019-20 campaign.
Report: Barcelona priced out of January move for Eric Garcia

Barcelona have reportedly accepted that they have little chance of signing Eric Garcia in January after being priced out of a move for the Manchester City centre-back.
Garcia is one of a few confirmed targets for Barca boss Ronald Koeman ahead of the winter transfer window, along with Georginio Wijnaldum and Memphis Depay.
The 19-year-old, who emerged through the Catalan giants' academy ranks, is into the final year of his City contract and does not appear as though he will agree fresh terms.
Despite Garcia's contract situation, however, Marca claims that the Citizens are still after €20m (£17.9m) from Barca - half up front and the other half in add-ons.
Barcelona are unwilling to pay that amount for a player who will become a free agent next summer, though they risk being beaten to his signature by a rival club.
Garcia has started four games for City in all competitions this season and earned his first senior Spain cap in September.
