Football transfer rumours: Éderson or Douglas Luiz to Manchester City?

Today’s fluff is just a shot away from you. Manchester City may have already spent in excess of £120m this month but they haven’t finished yet, with Andrea Cambiaso of Juventus a potential full-back recruit and Atalanta’s Éderson, rated at £70m, among the midfielders they have their eye on. The Mill knows what you’re thinking, but beyond the one at Atalanta and the one already at City there are no other Edersons playing top-flight football anywhere, so sadly the dream of a team full of them is destined never to be realised.

If City fail to land Éderson No2 they might sign their former player Douglas Luiz from Juventus, which is handy given that they already have the Italian side on speed dial, though like Chelsea they would ideally take him on loan and Juve are interested only in a sale. Talking of Juve and sales, the Italian side have valued defender Cambiaso, who turns 25 next month, at €80m and so will dismiss the €65m bid they are expecting to receive from Manchester.
Borussia Dortmund’s left-back recruitment department have taken an unusual approach to their jobs this month. Out of a potential talent pool of thousands of players spread across the entire world, they have spread their net near and narrow, settling on two targets who play in the same city, in stadiums a mere seven miles apart. The Sun says they want Ben Chilwell, who has been told to clear off by Chelsea, and the Telegraph that Arsenal’s Oleksandr Zinchenko is in fact their top target. The Bundesliga side have cooled on Marcus Rashford, having fled in terror at the first mention of the forward’s £350,000-a-week salary demands, leaving the 27-year-old apparently suitorless with a week of the window remaining.
