Manchester City are reportedly open to boosting their transfer budget with the sale of three fringe players this summer.

If reports are to be believed, City are already in a stronger financial position ahead of the upcoming window and will put together a big-money proposal to try to sign Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Braut Haaland.

However, according to The Sun, the Premier League leaders are opening to strengthening their coffers by listening to offers for Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Yangel Herrera and Ko Itakura.

Harwood-Bellis is the most notable name of the trio, the centre-back having made a combined total of 36 appearances on loan at Anderlecht and Stoke City this season.

Midfielder Herrera has established himself in Spain since 2018, making almost 100 appearances on loan at the likes of Huesca, Granada and Espanyol.

Meanwhile, Itakura has made 26 outings for Schalke 04 in Germany's second tier this campaign, and his current team hold a £5m option to sign him on a permanent basis. body check tags ::
