Manchester City announced a £550,000 reduction in its wage bill after several first-team players left the club. The exits create space for a £116 million transfer deal finalized this summer as Enzo Maresca starts his first season in charge. New arrivals and departures mark the start of the Maresca era.
In other moves, Liverpool have been associated with American forward Christian Pulisic, while a young City academy product finalized a transfer to Cardiff. These changes form part of a broader team reshuffle.
