Following a season that has fallen short of expectations, Pep Guardiola is said to be ready to part ways with several senior players in an effort to refresh his squad.
City's recent Champions League exit at the hands of Real Madrid, coupled with an underwhelming Premier League campaign and an early Carabao Cup elimination, has prompted the manager to reconsider his options.
With only the FA Cup remaining as their last chance for silverware, the club is expected to focus on a long-term rebuild. Reports suggest that up to eight title-winning players could be on their way out, including Jack Grealish, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, John Stones, Mateo Kovacic, Ilkay Gundogan, and goalkeeper Ederson.
Additionally, Kyle Walker is anticipated to make a permanent exit after his loan spell at AC Milan. Most of the players in question are over the age of 30, indicating the coach's intention to inject more youth into his squad.
Having invested in promising talents during the January transfer window—including Omar Marmoush, Nico Gonzalez, Abdukodir Khusanov, and Vitor Reis—the City boss appears to be laying the groundwork for a refreshed team ahead of next campaign.
