Welcome to the City Is Ours daily round-up, where we take a look at some of the Manchester City stories that you might have missed.
The Ferran Torres rumours about him leaving City still remain as Barcelona are confident they can secure the Spaniard soon.
Bernardo Silva has been in fine form of late and that's rewarded him with a not so cool nickname from his teammates.
And finally, Gabriel Jesus's exploits from a wide position instead of being played as a striker appear to have earned him a new potential contract offer from the club.
Torres likely to exit Etihad
Super Deporte claims that a deal is close to being agreed with Manchester City and Barcelona for the sale of Ferran Torres.
The 21-year-old is looking likely to have played his last game for the Citizens in a Carabao cup tie against Wycombe, whereafter a fractured foot saw the winger sidelined for two months.
The links between the Spanish international and Catalan club, Barcelona have been swirling for some time and a possible deal is looking likely come the January transfer window.
Our take: He’s a goalscorer and so the question is - will City regret selling a young talent like Torres in the future?
Silva earns a new nickname
Bernardo Silva is having some season after scoring seven goals and assisting two in all competitions for City.
This has all won him the Etihad player of the month award and in a Youtube video on the official club channel, he revealed the nickname he’s earned of late, “You know, they call me, the ‘tap-in merchant’, Jack Grealish and Phil Foden.
“They call me the ‘tap-in merchant’. But then after this goal (vs Everton) in the Premier League, I started scoring good goals!”
Our view: I mean, he’s scored some good goals…
Jesus to be offered contract reward
90min have reported that Manchester City are going to offer forward, Gabriel Jesus a new deal. The 24-year-old has seen large parts of his career overshadowed by Sergio Aguero when he arrived in 2017.
But, Pep Guardiola has utilised the player in a more wide position this season after the departure of Aguero which has paid off for the team. Jesus has been turned into a playmaker of sorts, assisting eight goals in all competitions this season.
His current deal has only 18-months left and the club is now looking to tie the payers future down on a long-term contract.
