Five Players Leaving "Manchester City" as Decided by Guardiola

Pep Guardiola has listed five "Manchester City" players for transfer, including a major transfer whose stay was accelerated by 'off-field scandal'. Discover who will exit in the winter window and what changes await the team.

Pep Guardiola has revealed his intention to offload five players from "Manchester City" in the January window, including a significant sale sped up due to 'off-field scandals'. "City" have failed to secure a win in their last six matches, with their draw against "Feyenoord" on Tuesday halting a sequence of five successive losses.

Guardiola has cited the absence of key team members over much of the season as a reason for their poor form. However, a report from Spain suggests he is also disillusioned with five players and intends to cut ties with them during the winter transfer period.

Matheus Nunes, who joined from "Wolves" for £50 million at the beginning of last season, has shown little impact and is again poised for departure. The Portuguese international started four of "City’s" defeats before missing the 4-0 loss to "Spurs", with the report calling him "undoubtedly one of the gravest errors" in Guardiola’s tenure.

Mateo Kovacic, signed from "Chelsea" concurrently, has been utilized as the anchor in midfield in Rodri’s absence but is now for sale following difficulties "fitting into the systems" of Guardiola.

Should an offer of £25 million be made, Nathan Ake is also viewed as dispensable, whilst the club is not opposing the sale of John Stones if a suitable bid comes forward.

The primary sale being prepared is that of Jack Grealish. The report suggests that "he has been inconsistent, frequently injured, and involved in multiple off-field scandals, leading to Guardiola's patience wearing thin. It's the major sale they are contemplating, with the English star having an open door to exit."
