In order to make a major change in the lineup and to reduce the team s bloated lineup, Manchester City may clean up six main players this summer

In order to make a major change in the lineup and to reduce the team's bloated lineup, Manchester City may clean up six main players this summer. After the news came out, it immediately sparked heated discussions from the outside world.

It is reported that the six main players who may be cleaned up this time are Gundogan, Nico O'Reilly, Kovacic, Echevery, Oscar Bob and Stones. These six players have occupied a certain position in Manchester City's lineup and have made great contributions to the team's competition in various competitions. If they really leave the team, it means that Manchester City's tactical system may usher in a major change.

Among these 6 players, Stones is considered the most likely to leave Manchester City. If Stones eventually leaves the team, it will mark the official end of his nine-year career at City. Looking back on Stones' years at Manchester City, he is undoubtedly an important member of the team's development history. So far, he has played 277 times for Manchester City. In these 277 appearances, he not only showed his strength on the defensive end, but also scored 19 goals. Such data is enough to prove his "sword guard" attribute.

However, injuries have become an insurmountable hurdle in Stones' career. Last season, he only participated in 11 Premier League games due to foot and hamstring issues. For a main player, such a small number of appearances obviously cannot meet the team's needs. Frequent injuries not only affected his own competitive state, but also made the team more concerned when placing troops. After all, in high-intensity Premier League and Champions League events, the team needs players to maintain a good health in order to cope with the intensive schedule.

In January this year, Manchester City signed Husanov from Lens, which obviously made Stones' situation even more embarrassing. Husanov's arrival gives Manchester City more choices in this position. When a player cannot output stably due to injuries and other reasons, the team introduces new players to supplement their strength and form competition, which is also a common practice to maintain the team's combat effectiveness. Against this backdrop, Stones' position in the team has become increasingly difficult.

In addition to Stones, five players, including Gundoan, Nico O'Reilly, Kovacic, Echeveri, and Oscar Bob, are also facing the possibility of leaving the team. Perhaps it is because the team is in order to renew, or perhaps the players' style does not fit well with the team's future tactical system; or perhaps it is because the team hopes to relieve salary pressure by selling players and make room for introducing other target players. No matter what the specific reason is, once these six main players leave the team, it will be an important step in the major change of Manchester City's lineup.

For Manchester City, this lineup adjustment is both a challenge and an opportunity. In the long run, this is very helpful for the team to get rid of the bloated roster and inject new vitality. Of course, this is still in the brewing stage. Which players will leave in the end need to be further confirmed by the official.
