The future of Manchester City’s first team is not only tied to what will happen to Pep Guardiola at the end of the season. The termination of the Catalan’s contract at the moment does not move its date while nine other players from the first team of the current champion of the Premier League also generate debate inside the entity. The change of era seems absolutely irremediable.
Many will think that only Manchester City has its eyes set right now on whether or not Pep Guardiola will continue as coach beyond June 30, 2025. It is the date on which right now the Barcelona coach would culminate a stage at the Etihad full of titles and where the history of a club accustomed to seeing its backyard rival win on every front changed. The truth is that together with the strategist, there are up to nine contracts that will end between that year and 2026.
Kevin de Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan (34 years old) and Scott Carson (39) end their contract in 2025. But by 2026 there are up to seven players in a similar situation. Even some of vital importance for a project that already looks to the future with the need to resolve fronts. Bernardo Silva (30), John Stones (30), Ederson (31), Kyle Walker (34), James McAtee (22) and Stefan Ortega (32), the next big novels in this regard.
Each name is a separate case, but reality shows how the change of era of Manchester City is already a reality. The departure of sporting director Txiki Beguiristáin, Guardiola’s right-hand man since his time at Barcelona, was officially announced while everyone waits for a decision from Pep. The plot surrounding the trial with the Premier League is for many the main reason to understand why various stars still do not have clarity regarding their future.

To all this we must add an investment in the transfer market that throughout last summer was minimal. Savinho was the only addition made by a team accustomed to spending large sums of money since the arrival of the United Arab Emirates to the club. Time will tell if the trial against the Premier has something to do with it or not, but the reality is that the change of era at Manchester City seems to be more imminent than ever.

“I remember training on a Wednesday afternoon at City and the information during training was ‘they are trying to agree on an amount’.

So I didn’t really get a chance to see many people and tell them I was going to Chelsea. “I just had to get my things back.” remembers in recent hours the Skyblue youth player of whom Guardiola has left great praise in recent times. He regretted his departure 12 months ago.
