Guardiola Threatens Exit Over Man City Squad Size

Pep Guardiola has warned Manchester City he will resign if the club does not reduce the size of its squad before next season, citing the difficulty of leaving fit players out and the impact on team morale. Guardiola, who prefers a smaller, cohesive group, reiterated his willingness to promote academy players instead of managing an oversized roster. City's disappointing, trophyless campaign has increased the pressure on the club to make changes, with key departures like Kevin De Bruyne expected and Jack Grealish's future now uncertain. Guardiola is under contract until 2027 and insists any new signings must be offset by player departures. The club is under pressure to offload players to meet his demands as they also fight for Champions League qualification. Critical decisions this summer will shape both Guardiola's future and the team's rebuilding efforts.
