Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola (54) is ready to make significant changes to his squad following the club’s premature exit from the UEFA Champions League.
For the first time in his managerial career, Guardiola’s team failed to progress beyond the playoff stage of the Champions League.
Reports from England suggest that as many as eight senior players could leave the Etihad at the end of the season as part of a generational shift.
Eight Stars Facing Exit
According to mirror.co.uk, several high-profile players are expected to depart, including Kevin De Bruyne (33), Jack Grealish (29), Bernardo Silva, John Stones, Mateo Kovacic, Ilkay Gundogan, and goalkeeper Ederson.
Additionally, Kyle Walker, currently on loan at AC Milan, is not expected to return to Manchester City.
Guardiola is believed to be planning for the future with the young talents signed in the winter transfer window, including Nico Gonzalez (23), Abdukodir Khusanov (20), Omar Marmoush (26), and Vitor Reis (19).
The Spanish tactician aims to rebuild the squad with fresher legs while maintaining the club’s competitive edge.

New Era for Manchester City
With key departures expected, Manchester City’s summer transfer window could be one of the most crucial in recent years.
Guardiola’s ambitious overhaul signals the start of a new era at the Etihad, with the club looking to build a team capable of reclaiming its dominance in Europe and the Premier League.
As City shifts its focus to domestic success, the coming months will determine the future of Guardiola’s project and the club’s ability to compete at the highest level once again.
