Manchester City added Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea and Iliman Ndiaye from Everton at the close of the summer transfer window, according to the Premier League’s review published on 2 September.

The arrivals form part of a wider reshaping of City’s squad. The league also records departures including Rodri to Barcelona and Bernardo Silva to Real Madrid after the end of his contract.

Loans need a separate reading

Everton brought Jack Grealish back on a season-long loan from City. A loan sets a different commitment from a permanent transfer, so it is useful to check the stated arrangement before drawing conclusions about a club’s longer-term squad.

The league’s review includes reported transfer fees. This summary leaves those figures out because a reported price is not the same as a fee formally disclosed by the clubs. The linked review gives the wider deadline-day picture.
