Players will have to leave Manchester City this summer
As Manchester City bids to trim the size of Pep Guardiola's squad for next season, players will have to leave the Etihad this summer. It would seem to be a matter of time before players such as Jack Grealish, Kyle Walker, James McAtee and Kalvin Phillips, for example, find new clubs. Outside of those four, it isn't immediately clear who will depart City this summer. Trying to work out who in Manchester City's Club World Cup squad will leave City this summer is no easy task. But new comments from Pep Guardiola do explain that players will definitely depart. It just may take most of the summer transfer window for that picture to become clear. Pep Guardiola has acknowledged that players have to leave Manchester City. Speaking ahead of Manchester City's Club World Cup Group G fixture against Al Ain, Pep Guardiola explained that he'd be happy to take his current squad into next season. But he added that it would almost be impossible to keep players happy if no player left the Etihad this summer. Speaking on the subject, Guardiola explained: 'I would love to have the players that we have right now all season. I love it. I don't have any complaint about the players, how they behave.' Advertisement 'The problem is that they will be unhappy during the season. They will be sad. They will be disappointed. I don't want that. For me, it's not a problem, I have more selection, but I don't like to have six or seven players or five players at home just in case there's no injuries.' 'I don't want a big squad for them, not for me, for them. So that's why we have to see what happens.' A host of players have stated their intentions to remain at the Etihad. John Stones has spoken of his desire to remain at Manchester City for next season. Ilkay Gundogan has also previously signalled his intent to remain at the club. It was previously believed that they could have been two prime candidates to leave the Etihad this summer. But as it stands right now, that may not occur. Advertisement Pep Guardiola's desire to work with a small squad is well-known. It has been a constant throughout his managerial career. To cater for that need of Guardiola's players will have to leave Manchester City this summer. But who that could be outside of the obvious candidates isn't an easy task to decipher. Perhaps who is selected to start for Manchester City during the FIFA Club World Cup could provide a clue as to who could leave City this summer. Perhaps not. But the obvious point is that players in Manchester City's FIFA Club World Cup squad will have to depart the club this summer. It's not a simple or obvious answer to figure out who that could be based on the stated intentions of players such as John Stones and Ilkay Gundogan to remain at the Etihad for next season.

Leeds to offer Dan James new deal after loaning Man Utd flop out in last Premier League campaign
LEEDS are offering Dan James a new two-year deal — but talks are still going on. The former Manchester United winger, 27, has a season left on his contract at Elland Road.

But James was a star performer in 2024-25 as Leeds picked up 100 points to win the Championship on goal difference from Burnley. Elland Road manager Daniel Farke' s position has still been under scrutiny. But club chiefs are now expected to back the German - including with a hefty transfer budget. The German will reportedly be handed up to £100million to spend this summer. to come in between the sticks. Liverpool keeper Caoimhin Kelleher was understood to be on the Whites' radar. But Brentford won the race for the Irishman on a deal potentially worth £18million. 2 It follows concern over a dip in form for Leeds stopper Illan Meslier in recent months. Meanwhile, Elland Road legend Kalvin Phillips is being linked with a return to his hometown club. The former England midfielder, 29, has returned to parent club Manchester City following a mediocre campaign on loan with now-relegated Ipswich. But for now he is recovering from Achilles surgery that could rule him out until August.

Two players futures remain unclear but they won't play again for Manchester City
This summer will see a host of players likely depart Manchester City. Kevin De Bruyne is one of those, and there will be others who leave the club. Two players who spent all of, and half of the 24/25 season out on loan were Kalvin Phillips and Kyle Walker. Phillips spent last season out on loan at Ipswich Town. Kyle Walker joined AC Milan in January after having a disappointing start to the 24/25 campaign. Both players are due to return to Manchester City after their respective loan spells. But what is clear is that neither player has a future at City. Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips will return to Manchester City but will be moved on this summer. Jack Gaughan has reported for the Daily Mail that Kalvin Phillips has undergone surgery on an Achilles injury following the 24/25 season. Due to the surgery he had, the England international will miss the majority of the pre season ahead of the 25/26 season. As per Jack Gaughan's report, Kalvin Phillips will use Manchester City's facilities to complete his rehabilitation while he searches for a new club. Advertisement Fabrizio Romano has reported that Kyle Walker is set to return to Manchester City after his loan spell at AC Milan. Furthermore, Romano reports that AC Milan will not make Walker's move to the San Siro permanent. The right-back will now return to Manchester City. But Walker will not be included in Manchester City's squad for FIFA Club World Cup and will leave the club once again this summer. Kyle Walker will return to Manchester City but not for long. Walker and Phillips will leave City this summer but who they'll play isn't immediately clear. As Jack Gaughan and Fabrizio Romano's reports indicate, there is no chance that Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips will be a part of Manchester City's squad for next season. Both players are surplus to requirements at the Etihad. In a summer where question marks surround the futures of a host of Manchester City players, the future is clear for Phillips and Walker. They won't be at Manchester City bext season. The bigger question appears to be where each player will play their football next season. For now, that answer isn't obvious, but it should reveal itself as the summer transfer window unfolds. It is unfortunate for Kalvin Phillips that he is now recovering from surgery. The hope is that once his rehabilitation is complete he can find a club for next season. In the case of Kyle Walker he sits in a similar boat to that of Phillips. But given Walker's pedigree and experience he should find himself a new club at some point this summer. But what is clear is that neither player will feature again for Manchester City.
