Manchester City plans summer squad rebuild for stability

Manchester City plans to rebuild its squad this summer, focusing on increasing player numbers to address injury issues. Manager Pep Guardiola has shifted his stance, now suggesting a larger squad is necessary for future success. Despite this, Guardiola emphasized the importance of having reliable players over simply increasing squad size. He noted that a smaller, stable squad has historically benefited the team, raising questions about the effectiveness of a larger roster. As City prepares for potential departures, including key players with injury concerns, the actual size of the squad may not change significantly. Guardiola's comments indicate a cautious approach to squad expansion, balancing reliability with the need for depth.
