00:00Now it has been a very quiet start to the window for the Premier League champions.

00:04That's not really a surprise for a number of reasons.

00:07I think the big one being that City don't actually need a huge amount of improvement in their squad.

00:12I think Pac Guardiola prefers to work with a small squad as well.

00:15And I think in reality it's probably going to take a few big outgoings before City make too many major additions.

00:21I think the ongoing championships, the Euros and the Copa America have been a factor in that as well.

00:26I think the eyes of the footballing world are on those international tournaments.

00:29And I think as well if there's a slow start from other clubs as well it has a bit of a knock-on effect.

00:34But I do think it will pick up as we get into the latter stages of the window.

00:39I'm expecting Savio to come in at Manchester City.

00:42Bruno Guimaraes is still a player that City are interested in as well.

00:46And I think they'll potentially be looking to bring in a little bit of backup for Rodri,

00:51a player who played so much last season at the base of midfield.

00:55In terms of outgoings, I think we can expect the likes of Calvin Phillips and Gian Pancello to move on.

00:59Two players who spent last season on loan.

01:02Obviously you've got Sergio Gomez as a player who's been linked with an exit.

01:05And there's been plenty of other big name players from Manchester City who've been linked with exits.

01:09The likes of Ederson, Kevin O'Brien and Bernardo Silva.

01:12I think Kevin O'Brien will stay and I'm expecting him to at this stage.

01:15Silva, Ederson, less sure of.

01:17But there'll be plenty of news as I'm sure coming over the next few weeks.

01:20But I'm Michael Plant at Manchester World.
