According to the Guardian, Manchester City will look to part ways with players deemed unable to sustain the demanding match schedule this summer. Apart from Kevin De Bruyne, whose contract expires at the end of the season, those under serious threat on that front are Ilkay Gundogan, John Stones, Bernardo Silva, and Nathan Ake.

“That is a reality,” manager Pep Guardiola said after the comprehensive defeat his team suffered at the hands of Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.

“We have to sit down with the doctors, with physios, with the players, with the agents, and be clear that some of them cannot sustain every three days, every month, every two months, playing every three, four days. So this is the reality. There’s one more year, [then] a World Cup.”

City have already freshened their squad to an extent, g forward Omar Marmoush, midfielder Nico Gonzalez, as well as defenders Abduhakir Khusanov and Vitor Reis, in January. It seems they’re set to be very busy in the summer as well, after what has so far been a frustrating campaign, both in the Premier League and the Champions League.
