Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, is facing a challenging decision as the team prepares for the next season. The club has a large squad of 32 players, and Guardiola has expressed concerns about the size of the team. To meet the regulations of the Premier League and UEFA, City must reduce their squad size.
According to reports, the club needs to sell at least five players to comply with UEFA's squad regulations. While the Premier League has more flexible rules, City still needs to make significant changes to their squad.
The players who are reportedly being told to leave the club are Jack Grealish, James McAtee, Kalvin Phillips, and Stefan Ortega. There are ongoing discussions about Grealish's potential loan move to Everton, who are preparing for their new stadium.
The club's decision to sell these players will have a significant impact on the team's dynamics and strategy for the upcoming season. Guardiola will need to carefully assess the squad and make tough decisions to ensure the team's success.
