Predicted line-up for Man City’s Community Shield clash vs Arsenal 🏟️🏆 Your thoughts? 👀

Al Qadsiah made Tijjani Reijnders an offer he could not refuse! 💰🇸🇦 The midfielder was on £230,000 a week at City and is now set to earn over £329,000 a week in Saudi Arabia! 🤯

🚨 NEW: Manchester City are looking at solutions to help Gianluigi Donnarumma contribute on the ball and not ask for anything overly elaborate. 🧤 One idea is to build up with three defenders rather than two, giving more security for possible mistakes and more options when passing. Donnarumma has been doing extra work at the end of sessions with Richard Wright and Michele De Bernardin, relentlessly clipping 30 or 40-yard balls to wide areas. [Jack_Gaughan]...

🚨 CONFIRMED: Manchester City have internally discussed possible options to try again for Enzo Fernandez. 🇦🇷 City have spoken again to Enzo’s camp even after Friday’s deadline passed. Enzo Maresca wants the midfielder, but everything depends on Chelsea’s conditions. [FabrizioRomano]

🩵🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 James Trafford on his season at Manchester City: “Some days were very difficult, and some were really good. Overall, it was a positive season. I won two trophies and learned a lot.”

🚨 CONFIRMED: Rodri to @Barcelonaen is on the verge of being completed, and negotiations have now entered the final stages. Barça aim to close the deal in the coming hours for a fee exceeding €70M, including the fixed fee and add-ons. [MatteMoretto]

🚨 OFFICIAL: Manchester City have a fully-fit squad to face Arsenal in the Community Shield on Sunday, confirms Enzo Maresca! 🏆✅ 🗣️ Maresca on player fitness: “The only one is [Ryan] McAidoo. In pre-season he had a small problem but he has worked with us.” 🗣️ “Everyone is fit. All of them are fit but some have only arrived back today.” 🗣️ Maresca on Erling Haaland’s fitness: “He was okay [after training on Thursday]! He had just a small thing behind the heels, but he was okay.” Man City currently have a 36% chance of beating Arsenal. Which players would you start on Sunday? 👀

🚨 OFFICIAL: Rodri has returned to Manchester City this morning, confirms Enzo Maresca. ✅ 🗣️ Maresca: "First of all, the transfer window is open; we can buy players, we can sell players, anything can happen. I just saw Rodri now in the building, I gave him a big hug, he looks good, so we'll see what happens..." 👀

Enzo Maresca on whether Manchester City are expecting to do any transfer business today: 🗣️ "Not today, to be honest. I don't think we are going to do something today... [smiles]" 🤔😅 Will City move for Enzo Fernandez today or not?

Enzo 💬 (On the Community Shield) When a trophy and a final is there, you always try to win the game. It’s a trophy. We are going to try our best to win the first trophy.

We love it when rival fans start bringing out the “oil money” and “buying the league” posts again. 😂 Starting to think our oily little Citeh might be back. 🛢️🩵

Manchester City will make around €6.1M profit on 28-year-old Tijjani Reijnders, whose signing didn’t work out in the end. 🇳🇱💰 City bought the midfielder from AC Milan for €54.9M in 2025 and have now sold him to Al Qadsiah for €61M. Was selling Reijnders after just one season the right decision, or could City regret letting him go? 🤔

Tijjani Reijnders will earn over €100M in five years at Al Qadsiah, according to sources close to the Saudi club. 🤑🇸🇦 @Juventus, @Madrid_Atletico, @Newcastle_United and Galatasaray also attempted to sign Reijnders, but could not compete financially with Al Qadsiah. [MikeVerweij]

Rayan Cherki was unveiled as Man City’s new #️⃣1️⃣0️⃣, one year ago today.

@Barcelonaen have avoided paying €10M to @Manchester_City following Ferran Torres’ sale. 💰❌ A clause required Barça to pay City €10M if Torres was sold for €55M or more. The deal with @PAris_Saint_Geermain is worth €50M, so City will receive nothing. [Nilsola10]
