Four Victims of Guardiola: Who Manchester City Will Sell This Summer
Manchester City’s management is reportedly preparing for a significant squad overhaul, as suggested by The Athletic. According to the report, the initiative comes directly from Pep Guardiola, who is determined to rebuild his winning team.
Guardiola’s Plans for a Rebuild
The publication claims that Guardiola has identified four players to offload next summer: goalkeeper Ederson, right-back Kyle Walker, midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, and winger Jack Grealish. Notably, the first three have been integral members of the squad since the early days of Guardiola’s tenure at City.
Ederson and De Bruyne Linked to Saudi Arabia
Rumors have been swirling for some time about potential moves to Saudi Arabia for both Ederson and De Bruyne. The Belgian midfielder’s situation has been particularly contentious, with speculation of a falling-out with Guardiola. This alleged tension has reportedly kept him out of the lineup even when fit to play.
However, in City’s most recent match against Nottingham, De Bruyne returned to the starting XI and made a statement, contributing a goal and an assist. Whether this performance affects his future at the club remains to be seen.
