Manchester City has spent a club‑record £116 million for midfielder Elliot Anderson, as the club prepares to stay active in the transfer market. Manager Enzo Maresca confirmed that, despite a 3‑0 Community Shield loss to Arsenal, the club will pursue further signings before the window closes. Reports say City is close to acquiring 18‑year‑old Moroccan Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille in a deal that could be worth £85 million. Maresca noted that the departure of Spain World Cup winner Rodri is likely, but it does not alter the club’s plans. City will open the Premier League season against Bournemouth the following Sunday. The club’s transfer activity is expected to strengthen its midfield and keep pressure on rivals for the title.
