Six Man City stars could be axed by manager Pep Guardiola in a summer rebuild, according to reports.
City have struggled to reach the same heights that they managed last season, having already dropped more points and conceded more goals than they did in the historical campaign.
It has seen the Blues fall 22 points behind Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table, with the title race now all but over.
As a result, according to the Mirror, City are 'set for a huge summer rebuild' and the squad could look very different at the start of next season.
It's reported that Leroy Sane, John Stones, Benjamin Mendy, Gabriel Jesus, Joao Cancelo and Nicolas Otamendi all have their futures 'under threat' and 'face Judgement Day' at the end of the season.
It's claimed that City are also 'hopeful' that RB Leipzig will make their loan move for Angelino permanent in the summer.
With David Silva and Claudio Bravo out of contract in the summer it's reported that a 'huge summer rebuild' is in store.
The report states that the Blues are 'braced to make at least five new signings, with academy graduates Phil Foden, Eric Garcia, Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Tommy Doyle also likely to get more game time.'
Meanwhile, the agent of Brazilian right-back Yan Couto appears to be in Manchester ahead of a move to City.
Marcelo Robalinho posted a photo overlooking Manchester on his story on Sunday morning, while City are working on a deal to sign the 17-year-old. The January transfer window has now closed so Couto couldn't sign for the club until the summer.

City wants to keep Sane. No question of selling Jesus. Pep trusts Stones & Mendy. Cancelo is going to stay. So where did this non story found its place.

This article is complete and utter tripe 😤most of these players will be here for seasons to come they are our future and a very bright future it is. This season has been difficult because of a particularly tough start due to injuries and other reasons especially in defence,some players may leave because well its just that time, i am thinking of DAVID SILVA OTAMENDI MAYBE GUNDOGAN ALL OF THESE PLAYERS HAVE BEEN FANTASTIC SUPERB FOR US IN THE PAST DECADE!.I think PEP has struggled this season mainly because of the injuries at the beginning of the season but I also believe his team selections have been a little weird some times to Sterling for all his goals has been particularly bad this season even in the games he has managed to score in and i would much prefer GABRIEL JESUS on the left wing his dribbling passing and general tenacity is far superior to Sterling and I don't understand why he is not partnering AGUERO OR WHEN AGUEROOOOOO IS NOT AVAILABLE PLAYING AGUEROS Role MORE ?! At the moment I can only come to the conclusion PEP is attempting to take as many CUPS AS POSSIBLE this season and is trying his best to get the best team ready and fully fit for the UCL . I would not be bothered if MENDY or STERLING LEFT with the obvious ones I mentioned earlier personally I believe MENDY has flopped and STERLING is highly overrated for me ZINCHENKO has been our best LB until he got injured though I agree he is still young and has some maturing to do but he is all about the team and I love that about him so give him some time KYLE WALKER WAS MY PLAYER OF THE TOT GAME he looked back to his best I hope it carries on through the season and it wasn't just because we were playing tot. All the rest SANE JESUS CANCELO DIAS STONES B SILVA MAHREZ KDB FODEN WILL ALL BE THERE NEXT SEASON AND FOR MANY SEASONS TO COME HOPEFULLY TO BECOME MORE MCFC LEGENDS THIS ARTICLE IS JUST MEDIA AND AF GENERATED CODS WHOLLOP TOTAL TRIPE 😜👀C.
