Following Pep Guardiola’s signing of a new contract, Manchester City’s top players, Kyle Walker, Kevin De Bruyne, and Ilkay Gundogan, will undoubtedly depart the team within the next two years. The Catalan manager will now have the opportunity to oversee a reconstruction with incoming director of football Hugo Viana once he has been announced as Txiki Begiristain’s replacement, according to former Man City financial consultant Stefan Borson, who spoke exclusively to Football Insider.
On November 21, the Premier League winners declared that Guardiola had signed a new two-year contract with the team since his previous one was set to expire at the end of the current season. On the field, though, Man City is having a difficult time after losing to Tottenham 4-0 on Saturday, which made it their fifth straight loss. Given that Walker, 34, has a contract through June 2026, and De Bruyne, 33, and Gundogan, 34, have contracts expiring in June 2025, there have been concerns raised regarding the futures of some veteran players.
Man City trio definitely leaving during Guardiola rebuild
The 2024-2025 season “may be their final year,” and three Manchester City players have” been predicted “to quit” during Pep Guardiola’s “rebuild.”” With five straight losses in all competitions, Man City is in a bit of a problem. Rodri, the winner of the Ballon d’Or, is greatly missed by Guardiola, but the majority of their best players seem exhausted and in dire need of extended recuperation.
Following the heartening announcement that Guardiola had signed a contract extension, the Premier League champions were predicted to recover against Tottenham on Saturday night. Man City started the match against Spurs with a strong start and had a chance to take the lead in the first ten minutes. But in the 13th minute, Ange Postecoglou’s team took the lead after surviving the storm.
