The serious sporting crisis that the Manchester City has been going through in recent months has led Pep Guardiola to make decisive decisions in an effort to reverse the situation. The Catalan coach, known for his demanding nature and meticulousness, has begun to compile a 'blacklist' of players whose poor performance is affecting the team, and who may have less prominence in the future.
Among those singled out are heavyweight names such as Kyle Walker, Ederson, Mateo Kovacic, Manuel Akanji, and Ilkay Gundogan. Footballers who, in previous seasons, were key pieces in the success of the City team but are now far from their best form. Defensive errors, lack of leadership, and an evident physical decline are some of the factors that Guardiola is not willing to tolerate any longer.
These players could be out of the team in the upcoming transfer windows
This situation could lead to the departure of several of these players in the upcoming transfer windows. According to sources close to the club, the board would be willing to listen to offers, especially for those whose influence on the field has diminished. Guardiola is also reportedly exploring alternatives to strengthen key positions and bring the team back to its usual competitiveness.
The Manchester City, accustomed to being at the top, cannot afford a prolonged crisis. Guardiola's decision to take drastic measures reflects the urgency to find solutions for a team that needs to regain its winning identity.
