Manchester City's transfer window: Spotted the potential before everyone else did
Manchester City's transfer window has seen highs and lows so far

Manchester City's transfer window has felt conscise and deliberate with one huge name who could be a massive star.
City have signed Iman Beney, who many fans will know of after Euro 2025. The 18-year-old shone for hosts Switzerland.
But who else have they sidgned and what did Beney say upon arrival?
Manchester City's transfer window: Not all positive
Beney signed for City on 22 June on a deal with an undisclosed length.
She said: “They have good ambition for next season, and, for my development, City is the best place. They are a club who like to keep possession, and I really like to have the ball, so I think it’s a good fit. I would also like to thank everyone at Young Boys who has helped me on my journey so far.”
City have also brought in another star who played at Euro 2025 and it was the worst kept secret in women's football.
Germany international Sydney Lohmann made the move on 9 July after the club's shop accidentally revealed it.

The star will be well-known to England fans as she was the player Jill Scott swore at during the Euro 2022 final.
The transfer window has not been all positive for City though as star forward Chloe Kelly left on a free.
Kelly forced a loan move to Arsenal last season and thrived under Renee Slegers. She moved to the Gunners just before the Euros began.
Kelly was not the only star to leave City either. Jill Roord has departed after two seasons at City.
The club have experienced more movements, including appointing new manager Andrée Jeglertz, and so here are all of their incomings and outgoings:
