During that time, he won 20 trophies including six Premier League<\/a> titles, the Champions League and the Club World Cup.<\/p>\n

Following his exit, Guardiola<\/a> is set to be replaced in the dugout by Enzo Maresca<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Bernardo Silva<\/a> and John Stones<\/a> will also leave the club ahead of next season.<\/p>\n

The pair are both out of contract at the end of this month and bid farewell during their final day clash with Aston Villa last month.<\/p>\n

However, two more City<\/a> stars could still be on their way before the transfer window closes.<\/p>\n

Both Josko Gvardiol<\/a> and Rodri<\/a> have refused to rule out departures ahead of next season.<\/p>\n

Instead, the pair have said they will decide their respective futures after the World Cup.<\/p>\n

Gvardiol endured an injury-ravaged campaign, including a four-month lay-off after suffering a broken tibia in January.<\/p>\n

The defender, who has two years left on his contract, was limited to 25 appearances in all competitions as a result.<\/p>\n

Prior to the World Cup, Gvardiol spoke to reporters during a press conference whilst on international duty with Croatia.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old explained: “We’ve all seen the rumours coming from all sides. I’m happy at Manchester City, I have everything I need.<\/p>\n

“Before the injury, I played every game and almost every minute. After the World Cup, we’ll see what happens.”<\/p>\n

Rodri is also prepared to wait until the tournament ends before making a decision on his City future.<\/p>\n

The Ballon d’Or winner has been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent months<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Asked about the speculation over his future, he admitted: “It’s part of football. I’m focused on being a leader in the national team.<\/p>\n

“That’s my path. I understand the noise, but I’m not going to spend my time on that. We’ll see after the World Cup.”<\/p>\n

Rodri’s current City deal is set to expire next summer, having joined the club in 2019.<\/p>\n

Similarly to Gvardiol, the midfielder also battled injuries during last season, with knee, hamstring and groin issues disrupting his campaign.<\/p>\n

Despite the fitness concerns, Rodri made 33 appearances across all competitions.<\/p>\n

Although City missed out on the Premier League title to Arsenal, he was able to help them win both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester City could be set for a squad overhaul this summer following Pep Guardiola’s departure.
