There will be major renovations at Manchester City regarding the playing staff this summer.
Pep Guardiola will be under no illusions as to the size of the task that lies ahead of him at Manchester City.
His side’s fall from grace this season has been alarming to say the least – nobody expected Man City to drop off as far as they have done.
Numerous high profile players will leave The Etihad in the summer transfer window.

And Man City could make their biggest loss of all-time by selling Jack Grealish for a cut-price fee.
Another very big name is being tipped to head out the exit door this summer.

Claim made about the fitness of Manchester City’s Ilkay Gundogan
Ilkay Gundogan is one of eight players who could leave Manchester City this summer.
He has really struggled with the speed and physicality of Premier League football this season.
And his days at The Etihad could well be numbered.
According to Spanish publication Sport, there will be a huge turnover of players at The Etihad this summer.

And Gundogan will most likely be leaving because ‘he isn’t in great shape’.
Despite his poor form in general this season, Pep Guardiola actually praised Ilkay Gundogan’s contributions recently.
Most City fans would disagree with that notion though.
Better for Gundogan to have left a hero than become the villain
His record for Man City is an impressive one, with five Premier League titles and a Champions League winner’s medal to his name.
He has bagged 62 goals and 39 assists in 343 games for City (Transfermarkt).
However, it’s clear to see that Ilkay Gundogan hasn’t been anywhere near the levels required this season, with no goals and only three assists in 25 Premier League games for Manchester City.
Perhaps he shouldn’t have returned to The Etihad in the summer. Better to leave a hero than become a villain…
