๐จ Manchester City send Mathys Detourbet to AS Monaco on loan after signing him from Troyes: all documents are signed. ๐๐ซ๐ท
Detourbet left City Group side Troyes and signs in at Man City for โฌ25m package with straight loan to AS Monaco, now signed ๐ฒ๐จ
AS Monaco have an option to extend the loan until 2028, as @FabriceHawkins reports.
Man City have a specific clause if they want to bring back the player earlier.
The Enzo Maresca, or whoever the next Manchester City manager is, announcement will likely come towards the latter part of the month.
The deal is probably already agreed in principle, but there are usually plenty of details that still need to be finalised behind the scenes, and those processes can take weeks to complete.
It is also fairly common for managerial contracts to begin on 1 July, as that aligns with the start of the new football year from an administrative perspective.
My guess is that the club are using June to complete internal reviews, finalise staffing structures, and plan recruitment before officially unveiling the new manager.
I may be wrong, but I'd suggest everyone sits back and waits for now.
@tikitaka_blues Might be pushing my luck here. But taking an intellectual guess from what we know right now... right back signing will be Malo Gusto, and winger signing Iliman Ndiaye?
Also, Mathys Detourbet will be confirmed as a Manchester City signing soon.
Everyone at The City Crew would like to welcome the new Manchester City Manager, Enzo Maresca.
Wishing you every success as you begin this new era with us ๐ฉต

BREAKING: Rodri is set to undergo surgery on a 'mystery injury' after Spainโs #FIFAWorldCup and will miss the start of #ManCity's new season. Rehabilitation will not be a long process.
[via @Jack_Gaughan]
It's funny seeing everyone celebrate Enzo Maresca's appointment and talk about the start of a new era at Manchester City... yet half of them have already been criticising his transfer targets ๐
Malo Gusto has agreed to join #ManCity this summer, according to @Santi_J_FM. Enzo Maresca wants to make him an important part of his project, while Gusto is seduced by the idea of a reunion. @ManCity must now try to persuade Chelsea to sell, which promises to be difficult. ๐ซ๐ท
