Guardiola often preferred other goalkeepers, such as Zack Steffen and Stefan Ortega Moreno, to back up Ederson. This meant that Carson was unlikely to make an impact in the first team. As a result, he will depart the club at the end of his contract.

Manchester City has confirmed Carson's exit on social media. The club expressed gratitude for his hard work and dedication, and wished him the best of luck for the future. Carson is likely to turn 40 years old soon, which may mark the end of his career.

Carson is not the only player leaving Manchester City. Jack Grealish and Kyle Walker will also be departing, as they look for new clubs after being cast out by Guardiola. The club will be without these players for the upcoming Club World Cup.

Guardiola has stated that he expects Ederson and Ortega Moreno to continue with the club into the new season. This leaves little room for Carson, who will not be returning to the team.
