After tasting haaland's sweetness, City could close a second trade against Borussia Dortmund before the transfer window closes.
Earlier in the summer, City won centre-forward Errin Haaland, the Norway international with an extraordinary record at Borussia Dortmund and a strong start in the Premier League. City then signed Stefan Ortega, Calvin Phillips and Sergio Gomez. However, with Thursday's transfer deadline approaching, the Premier League champions may only sign one more player.
They are about to sign another Dortmund player. This time, they are optimistic about the completion of The Deal for Wei Manuel Akanji.
City have been working hard to bring in the Swiss international. With a transfer of around £15m, it makes sense for all parties as Accange moves into the final year of Borussia Dortmund's contract.
At Manchester City, he will compete with the likes of Ruben Díaz, Emeryk Laporte, John Stones and Nathan Acre for the centre-back position. Laporte and Acre are currently battling injuries.
It will be interesting to see how the 27-year-old will play alongside them. After making more than 150 appearances for Borussia Dortmund, he is unlikely to focus on the substitute role. That said, he may not be a regular starter, depending on the injury situation of the Manchester City defender.
Still, he's a useful option, and his potential arrival could end a productive summer transfer window for Guardiola's side. What's more, they will still operate with negative net spending, which shows how smart they are when it comes to replenishing the team.
