Manchester City plans to streamline the lineup, and many other players such as B Season are doubtful in the future

May 28th, May, this Sunday, the "short summer window" specially set up for the Club World Cup will be opened. The Manchester Evening News analyzed a series of transfer operations by Manchester City this summer. "Little but fine" may be the effect the Blue Moon Army is seeking.

As early as this week, Manchester City can start their transfer business. In addition to Manchester City, many clubs are expected to complete a series of transactions in the short summer window. Manchester City will be very busy this summer, and after a disappointing season with no trophy (only the Community Shield) and only third in the Premier League, Guardiola hopes to reshape the team's roster.

Guardiola previously stated that although the injury crisis this season forced Manchester City to take action in the January transfer window, he actually wanted a streamlined and efficient squad. During the time when the wounded camp was full, Guardiola seemed to think a deeper lineup was necessary. But recently, almost all players except Stones have recovered their health, so Guardiola now prefers to choose players by quality rather than quantity, and he doesn't want to always let senior stars sit on the bench.

The final round of the Premier League match against Fulham Gallish was excluded from the roster, Lewis and McCarthy also missed the 18-man roster in the FA Cup final, and Savignho missed the match against Bournemouth. Coupled with Manchester City seeking multiple positions this summer, Guardiola will face a series of difficult decisions. Many players will face an uncertain future, and if Manchester City hopes to limit the team size while strengthening the lineup, some players will have to leave. In terms of goalkeepers, Ederson and Ortega may leave the team. The latter has not made significant progress this season, and Ederson has only one year left in his contract. If the Brazilian goal can be sold at a good price, Manchester City will consider it. Porto goalkeeper Costa attracted Manchester City's interest.

On the back line, Dias and Gvadior are the absolute main players, and Lewis and Akanji are unlikely to be sold. Reis may be loaned out, while Husanov is expected to enter the first team with one or two other defenders. The future of Stones and Aker is unclear, and both missed some games due to injuries. Although there is no problem with the performance of the two in a healthy state, the future is still doubtful. Moreover, if the transfer of the two can bring considerable funds to Manchester City, this is also a factor that Manchester City needs to consider.

Nunes may transfer to Nottingham Forest, and Gundogan said he hopes to activate the one-year contract renewal clause in his contract and is expected to stay, but the future of the German midfielder at Manchester City cannot be guaranteed. Gralish and McCarthy's days at Manchester City seem to be numbered. As for B seat, there are rumors of his departure almost every year. Although he is still the main player of the team this season and his contract will expire in 2026, this summer may still be the time for B seat to part ways with Manchester City, especially when Manchester City is seeking at least one new midfielder.

Rodri, Kovasic and Nico Gonzalez will all stay in the team, and Foden. Winners Savignho, Bob and Doku are all part of Manchester City's long-term plan. Echeviri is also in the plan, although he may be loaned out for first-team experience. O'Reilly performed well this season and he had no doubts about staying in the team. Marmush will continue to provide support to Haaland on the forward line.
