According to the Manchester Evening News, Man City's Sporting Director Victor Hugo traveled with the team to Asia and stated that there is still a lot of work to be done in the transfer window.

When Man City flew to Asia for their tour on Tuesday, it was initially expected that some seats on the return flight would be empty and that new faces would arrive. However, after Sporting Director Victor Hugo travelled with the team, it now seems more likely that the return passenger list will remain unchanged.

The intensity surrounding multiple incoming and outgoing transfers has cooled in recent days. Man City are still busy, and Rulli’s arrival is expected to be completed as a replacement for the departing Trafford. However, larger operations have not yet made significant progress, including the pursuit of Ayob Bouhaddi. The president of Lille has publicly stated that unless they receive the fees they want in negotiations, they hope to keep the player.

Hugo's trip to Asia is significant because it is not an ideal time zone for doing business with England and Europe. However, Chelsea and Tottenham are also conducting their respective pre-season tours nearby, and both could engage with Man City this summer.

Tottenham still hope to sign Savinho, while Marmoush has also emerged as a target. Meanwhile, Gusto, Pedro Neto, and Enzo Fernandez remain potential options for Man City. It is understood that Hugo is traveling with the team to work alongside coach Enzo Maresca and serve as a club representative, but this could also provide a convenient opportunity to advance certain negotiations.

Hugo is also aware that, with less than a month until the transfer window closes, there is still a lot of work to be done. Man City's limited activity in recent weeks should not be interpreted as a sign that they believe there is nothing left to do.

A relatively calm piece of news for Man City concerns Rodri. Over the past week, Real Madrid publicly expressed strong interest in signing him, but there has been no further progress on the matter. In just over a week, Man City will return to Manchester and gradually welcome back the last batch of FIFA World Cup players.

As Man City depart for South Korea, their transfer plans also need to take off as soon as possible.
