Manchester City targets Gakpo and Fernandez as transfer window closes

Manchester City is increasing transfer activity as the window approaches its end. The club is monitoring Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo while preparing to make an offer for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez. City's pursuit of Fernandez may hinge on the expected departure of Nico Gonzalez, who has reportedly agreed to join Newcastle United for around £50 million. In addition, City has secured a deal for winger Allan Elias from Palmeiras. Other notable movements include Arsenal's interest in Julian Alvarez and Gabriel Martinelli's potential move to Al-Hilal.
