Pep Guardiola has already decided how he'll reshape his Manchester City squad ahead of the new season, according to reports.

Man City beat Inter Milan to win the Champions League, completing a famous treble having bagged the Premier League and FA Cup this season.

Despite their sensational campaign, Guardiola appears set for a busy transfer window, with plenty of dealings on the cards. From outgoings to recruiting new talent for the 2023/24 season, per The Mirror.

The Blues have been strongly linked with Chelsea's Mateo Kovacic, who could be a replacement for Ilkay Gundogan, who could be on his way out of the Etihad this summer.

The German midfielder starred during Man City's title run-in and skippered his side in Istanbul. But he's out of contract this month, with Barcelona and Arsenal keeping tabs on his situation.

Bernardo Silva could also leave Man City, having expressed his desire for a new challenge over the years. He was a key part in the club's treble-winning season, but his future appears to lie away from England.

Aymeric Laporte, who played 12 league games this season, could be offloaded, too, with Man City understood to be willing to allow him to leave this summer.

If Laporte ends his time at Man City, then Guardiola will pursue RB Leipzig's highly-rated defender Josko Gvardiol, who's valued at a whopping £75 million.

Riyad Mahrez and Kalvin Phillips could also depart the club. The Algerian winger played 47 games in all competitions this season, scoring 15 goals.

But he fell down the pecking order, with Guardiola favouring Silva and Jack Grealish. The former Leicester City man has been courted by Saudi Arabia authorities ahead of a potential switch to the Middle East.

And, finally, Phillips only joined Man City last summer, but has failed to make an impression. He played just 12 league games this season and could be sold this summer.
