According to SPORT, Manchester City have an advantage in signing Gutierrez due to their ownership of Girona, a Spanish team under the City Football Group umbrella. This has allowed them to acquire players such as Yan Couto and Savinho on loan from other clubs in the Group. Savinho himself has expressed his desire to play for Manchester City in the future. However, the deal for Gutierrez may depend on the situation with Davies at Bayern Munich.
