Grading the summer transfer window: Manchester City

The Surplus

Sancho was snapped up by Borussia Dortmund

Jadon Sancho was the real surprise among the departures as he moved to Borussia Dortmund for £8 million after rejecting a new contract with City. The 17-year old winger was named as the Player of the Tournament in this summer's European U17 Championship and is one of the brightest young English talents. City have definitely lost out on an excellent young player who could have flourished under Guardiola.

Grade - 5/10

Nolito's signing did not work out at City.

Nolito was signed in 2016 and a year later, he was sold to Sevilla for around £8 million. The winger scored 6 goals but failed to provide the necessary impact at the Etihad. The arrival of Bernardo Silva pushed Nolito further down the pecking order and he ended up returning to Spain.

Grade - 6.5/10

Mooy became an instant hit at Huddersfield.

Aaron Mooy was signed on a free transfer from Melbourne City by the Citizens in 2016 and he was loaned to Huddersfield Town. The midfielder was instrumental in securing promotion for the Terriers and they came back for him in the summer. The Australian was sold for around £8 million and it represents a good deal for City as well.

Grade - 7.5/10

Kolarov moved back to Italy

The selling of unwanted players continued at City as they sold Samir Nasri to Antalyaspor, Fernando to Galatasaray, Kolarov to AS Roma, Bruno Zuculini to Hellas Verona, and Ruben Sobrino to Alaves. Thus, City did a good job of reducing the wage bill by allowing players who will not get much playing time to leave.
