The summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Manchester City eye possible reinforcements.
The 2018-19 champions did not bring in a single player during the January transfer window, despite suffering a defensive shortage for much of the 2019-20 campaign, but they have already started their business for the summer.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings at the Etihad.
Tuesday morning's Manchester City transfer talk news roundup:
Eric Garcia 'set for Barcelona move after Ruben Dias joins Manchester City'

Barcelona are reportedly hopeful that Ruben Dias's imminent move to Manchester City will free up Eric Garcia to head to Camp Nou.
Benfica announced on Sunday that an agreement is in place with City over the £62m signing of Dias, with Nicolas Otamendi heading the opposite way as part of a separate deal.
The Portugal international's imminent arrival brings an end to Pep Guardiola's long search for a right-sided defender.
According to Spanish outlet Sport, the big-money signing may also persuade City to cash in on fellow centre-back Garcia, who is wanted by former club Barcelona.
The report indicates that City have previously told Barca that will not sell the 19-year-old on the cheap, but that stance may loosen now that a replacement has been brought in.
Garcia started alongside Nathan Ake in Man City's 5-2 home defeat against Leicester City on Sunday.
Manchester City offer Oleksandr Zinchenko to Barcelona?

Barcelona have reportedly been offered the opportunity to sign versatile Manchester City player Oleksandr Zinchenko.
The Ukraine international has proven to be a useful option for Pep Guardiola, making a total of 68 appearances for City across the last three seasons.
However, with Nathan Ake now able to offer cover at left-back, the 23-year-old has moved down the pecking order at the Etihad Stadium.
According to reports in Spain, City have contacted Barcelona to enquire whether they have any interest in the player.
While the Catalan giants have not dismissed a future approach, any bid is dependent on whether they are able to sell second-choice Junior Firpo.
Zinchenko still has four years remaining on his contract, leaving City in no rush to sell him for a cut-price fee.
