Manchester City Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak hints that a significant number of the current squad will be shown the exit door.
Al Mubarak has already admitted that last season’s performance failed and a lot of players are likely to leave this summer. The chairman also referred repeatedly to the need for passion and commitment.
Al Mubarak said: “We have to keep that balance between what we have built and the future. We have to keep a balance between age groups, between young players and experienced players, and all this balance is really in the hands of Pep.”

He stressed: “Pep has a particular way he wants to manage the squad and a particular way he wants to play and I think we will need particular players who will join the team that fit and be moulded to the way he would like this team to play.”
The chairman explained: “There will also be some players that the time is right for them to move on. I think we will have some changes this summer. We will invest as we have always done in this club, in this team, and we will provide the necessary resources for Pep to build a team that has the ambition and the capability to go and win back this Premier League for us, to go as far as we can and try and win the Champions League and keep pushing at the cups.”
Goal suggests that Willy Caballero, Aleksandar Kolarov, Martin Demichelis and Fernando are all facing up to futures away from the club, while there are also doubts surrounding Samir Nasri, and even Vincent Kompany and Joe Hart.
On the subject of youth Al Mubarak noted: “That’s one of the reasons why Pep was so highly considered. That ethos we have at Man City that Pep… I think actually believes to the bone. He has done that with Barcelona, he has done that with Bayern Munich. Even with the abundance of talent he had with both first teams, Pep always has a knack for talent and he loves to find young players that have incredible talent. He finds that talent and nurtures it and you find them evolve and succeed at both Barcelona and Bayern Munich.”

Youngsters Bersant Celina, Aleix Garcia, Manu Garcia and Tosin Adarabioyo will play some part in the club’s future.
He stressed: “We have that at our club. We have incredible talent today. It’s the first time in the years since we have started this experience that truly, and at every level almost within the football club, we have incredible talent. We really do.”
“This is an organisation that has won the Under-10 national championship, the Under-13s, Under-15s and the Under-18s this year. We are competitive with a lot of talent across all age levels going all the way to EDS and Pep, I think, will enjoy that and will find a lot of gems we are going to produce,” he concluded.
