Since joining the Citizens from Benfica in 2020 for a fee of £65 million, Dias has established himself as one of the Premier League's premier defenders. His leadership, aerial prowess, and ability to read the game have been pivotal to City's dominance under Pep Guardiola. However, with the club facing potential financial sanctions, the sale of one of their most valuable assets could be seen as a necessary step.

Chelsea have emerged as early favorites to sign Dias, with the Blues looking to bolster their defense and challenge for major honors. The Stamford Bridge outfit has been linked with a number of high-profile defenders in recent months, but Dias would undoubtedly be their most significant signing.

The potential departure of Dias would be a significant blow to Manchester City, who would be forced to rebuild their defense. However, with the club's financial situation uncertain, it may be a necessary sacrifice to ensure the long-term sustainability of the club.

Other top European clubs are also expected to show interest in Dias, with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid among those linked with the Portuguese international.
