Guardiola shakes up Manchester City's dressing room: five players out of his plans

The season for Manchester City has been a real headache for both fans and club officials. After a golden era in which they were crowned Premier League champions and dominated Europe, the Citizens are now facing one of their toughest seasons in recent years. The surprise exit from the Champions League and the growing gap in the Premier League seem to be just the beginning of a series of problems plaguing Pep Guardiola's side.

The team, which in recent campaigns seemed invincible, has started to show cracks. The lack of consistency and underwhelming performances in various competitions have highlighted the urgent need for a deep renewal within the squad. For many, the team is no longer the same one that stunned the world a couple of seasons ago with its attacking football and ability to overcome any challenge. Individual errors and poor tactical decisions are proving too costly.

Premier League expectations have already collapsed. With Manchester City far behind the leaders and showing no signs of an effective reaction, the league title now seems out of reach. This, coupled with the painful Champions League elimination, clearly shows that something needs to change. The club's leadership knows that now is the time for a clean-up. If Manchester City wants to regain its status as a European giant and reclaim the domestic throne, significant changes must be made.

Despite Guardiola's efforts to maintain the team's cohesion, some players no longer seem indispensable in the Spaniard's system. The lack of the same intensity and quality that they once displayed is causing a stir within the club. The decision to start a restructuring process at Manchester City is now inevitable. Some of the names that have been cornerstones for several seasons may be living their last months at the club.

The decision to undergo a restructuring at Manchester City is not one that is taken lightly. Such changes are always difficult, but for a club of City's magnitude, they are necessary to avoid an even greater crisis. While the team has talented players who can lead the next era, the departure of certain stars seems unavoidable.
