Manchester City have dismissed reports linking them with AS Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche or similar transfer targets, confirming that no negotiations are currently taking place.

The club’s plan remains unchanged — if Brazilian winger Savinho completes a move to Tottenham Hotspur, City intend to make a push for Real Madrid’s Rodrygo. However, Savinho’s potential transfer to Spurs is still uncertain, with the North London side’s opening bid falling well short of Manchester City’s valuation.

For now, Pep Guardiola’s side appear to be monitoring developments closely, with no immediate moves expected until Savinho’s future is resolved.
