Manchester City have landed Norwegian sensation Sverre Nypan, but the big story could be Jack Grealish’s future. On this week’s Talking City, Alex James and Tyrone Marshall dig into the possibility that a loan spell is now the only realistic route out for Grealish, with permanent interest drying up in the market. Meanwhile, academy star James McAtee looks set to depart—possibly the only significant outgoing this window. We break down what Nypan brings to Pep’s squad, whether loaning out Grealish makes any sense for City, and if this transfer window is shaping up to be a success or a letdown. Plus: What does the lack of big-money sales mean for City’s summer strategy? Are fans right to feel frustrated, or is this just a new era of quiet evolution? Drop your thoughts below—should City loan Grealish, or fight to keep him?
