Pep Guardiola has lifted the lid on the summer departures of Raheem Sterling, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Gabriel Jesus, admitting his side will miss the title-winning trio next season.
However, Manchester City's record-breaking manager believes new signings Erling Haaland, Kalvin Phillips, and Julian Alvarez will help the club challenge for a fifth Premier League title in seven seasons, despite refusing to adapt his style to suit new arrivals.
City lifted the Premier League title for a fourth time under Guardiola last season as they beat Liverpool in the closely-contested title race that went down to the last day.
