"Well, look, nobody knows because even the parties themselves expected to have been told by now, Borson said. All the lawyers are surprised there is no decision at this stage, and that's on both sides. I'll tell you who's holding it up - the panel making the decision. They hold the pen. They are the people who everybody waits for to deliver the decision."
Man City are planning to sign a new right-back next summer, and their top target continues to be Newcastle's Tino Livramento. The 23-year-old, who returned to action against Pep Guardiola's side on Saturday, could be in for a 2026 move to Manchester, although that would depend on whether he pens a new contract at St James' Park. Livramento is out of contract in 2028, and in preparation of him entering the final 2.5 years of this deal,
I found it weird that he was out of position, so we immediately knew something was wrong. But I managed to see the review and it's Barnes pushing him away from the goal.

Manchester City have set their sights on one of Germany's most promising young defenders, with Bild reporting that Eintracht Frankfurt left-back Nathaniel Brown has been added to the club's shortlist. The 22-year-old has emerged as one of the Bundesliga's best full-backs this season, continuing his rapid rise since joining Eintracht Frankfurt from FC Nurnberg in 2024. Brown's combination of talent, defensive quality and technical ability has not only solidified his place in Frankfurt's starting XI,
As a Mancunian, I feel anger and shame at the complicity of our city's commercial links with the United Arab Emirates, reported to be funding the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which are committing war crimes in Darfur.

Manchester City are accelerating a move for Vinicius Jr at the request of Pep Guardiola. The Catalonian coach has already been provided with over 450 million in transfer funs in the last 12 months, yet he finds himself trailing Arsenal by six points after 10 games in the Premier League.
