Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is preparing for a significant squad overhaul this summer, with at least six players expected to leave the Etihad.
According to Goal, the players on the chopping block include Ederson, Nathan Ake, Joshua Wilson-Esbrand, Claudio Echeverri, Kalvin Phillips, and Savinho.
Despite City’s commanding 4-0 victory over Wolves in their opening Premier League fixture, Guardiola expressed concerns about managing an oversized squad.
Goalkeeper Ederson was excluded from the matchday squad as transfer talks with Galatasaray continue, while winger Savinho was also left out amid interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
Midfielder Kalvin Phillips, who has endured loan spells at Ipswich Town and West Ham, is now set for a likely permanent exit after failing to cement his place in Guardiola’s plans. Defender Nathan Ake, youngster Joshua Wilson-Esbrand, and teenage talent Claudio Echeverri are also considered surplus to requirements as City prepare for another intense campaign.
This potential shake-up signals Guardiola’s determination to keep his squad balanced and competitive as the club chases domestic and European glory this season.
