Manchester City management is planning a major revolution in the team after a very disappointing season, according to the Telegraph newspaper.
The revolution includes a major surprise, which is that the management no longer objects to Pep Guardiola leaving City if he wants to, contrary to the position announced since last summer.
It is most likely that Guardiola will continue next season, but he will have to make many and very big changes to the team’s roster.
According to the latest report, 8 players will leave Manchester City at once next summer and will be replaced by new players.
The first and also surprising name is Kevin De Bruyne, as the English management does not intend to renew with him despite their great appreciation for his great contributions over the past years at the Etihad Stadium.
The replacement and renewal process will include getting rid of goalkeeper Ederson, Bernardo Silva and John Stones, in addition to Mateo Kovacic and Jack Grealish.
City have no intention of letting Kyle Walker return after his loan at Milan ends, and there is absolutely no desire to activate the one-year extension clause in Ilkay Gundogan’s contract.
At the same time, City’s management already has a number of options to replace those who left, and their main goal now is to build a young team that can return to competing for all titles, whether under Guardiola or otherwise.
