One of the latest to be linked is Man City defender Callum Doyle. The 19-year-old is yet to make his first team debut for Pep Guardiola’s side, but has spent the last two seasons out on loan where he has been successful.

Here’s everything about a potential transfer for Doyle this summer.

City ‘interested’ in permanent move

The Athletic report that City are ‘exploring’ a move for the defender this summer, with the club ‘interested’ in a permanent deal. If a move is completed, he will become the second central defender signed this summer after the arrival of Conor Coady from Wolves.

Doyle has spent time on loan in League One with Sunderland and in the Championship with Coventry City last season.

Enzo Maresca connection

Doyle and Maresca have previously worked together during the City boss’ time with Man City’s development squad. Maresca was head coach of the young Man City team in the 2020/21 season, leading them to their first Premier League 2 title.

LeicestershireLive has spoken to CoventryLive ’s Coventry City correspondent Andy Turner for the inside track on Doyle, and what he would bring to Maresca’s rebuild at the King Power Stadium if a transfer is completed.

“In terms of style, he’s comfortable and composed in possession and able to receive the ball in tight areas and release without getting flustered,” he said. “He has a superb range of passing, including the ability to hit long diagonals to land on a sixpence with a wand of a left foot.”
