The summer transfer window will open this week, and Manchester City look set to be active once again.
But while much of the focus will be on potential incomings, there’s also the very real likelihood that a number of players could leave the Etihad too.
Offloading certain talents may be just as important as bringing people in this summer, with the transfer window opening on June 10th.
And as always, there’s no shortage of speculation surrounding Pep Guardiola’s squad, and who could depart.
But which players could actually leave the club?
We’ve looked through all of the champions’ first-team stars and assessed which ones could potentially seal an exit in the near future.
Each player has been rated based on how likely they are to depart the club, whether it be on loan or permanently.
And as always, there’s no shortage of speculation surrounding Pep Guardiola’s squad, and who could depart.
17. Cole Palmer - Unlikely
Palmer could be the next bright young thing to make a proper breakthrough at the Etihad, and while a loan move could be a possibility, it is arguably more likely that Guardiola will keep him around to learn directly from the boss himself.
18. Raheem Sterling - Possible
Never too far away from the gossip columns, Sterling has once again been touted for a move this summer. Not as likely to leave as others, but not nailed on to stay either.
19. Jack Grealish - Unlikely
Grealish maybe didn’t hit the ground running in Manchester quite as quickly as some would have liked, but it’s still very difficult to foresee a situation in which he is sold this summer.
20. Riyad Mahrez - Unlikely
Reportedly targeted by a number of top European clubs, Mahrez still has plenty to offer City, and could stick around for a little while longer.
