Noel Gallagher reveals the Man City players who will depart in 2025
In a recent interview, Gallagher emphasized the need for a squad overhaul, highlighting that some stalwarts may be approaching the end of their City careers.
Reflecting on the team’s evolution, Gallagher remarked,
“We are seeing the last of them, and we are seeing Bernardo [Silva] come to the end, we are seeing KDB [Kevin De Bruyne] come to the end.”
He also mentioned Kyle Walker’s departure and Ilkay Gundogan’s unexpected extended playtime, suggesting that a significant transition is imminent.
Gallagher acknowledged the stability of the squad during their four consecutive Premier League titles, noting,
“We hardly bought any of those players in between; it was a stable squad and it acted like a machine.”
However, he now feels that the foundation is shifting, with new players requiring time to integrate.
This sentiment aligns with the natural progression of football teams, where cycles of success often lead to periods of rebuilding.
As some of City’s most influential players approach the twilight of their careers, the club faces the challenge of rejuvenating the squad while maintaining their competitive edge.
Gallagher’s perspective underscores the emotional connection fans have with long-serving players and the bittersweet nature of transitions in football.
While the prospect of bidding farewell to beloved figures is daunting, it also heralds the dawn of a new era, filled with fresh talent and potential.
As Manchester City navigates this period of change, supporters will be keenly observing how the club manages the delicate balance between honoring its past achievements and embracing future challenges.
