BLUE MOON, YOU SAW ME STANDING ALONE

Pep knows some of his stars will leave him this summer

- JOHN CROSS

PEP GUARDIOLA has admitted some of his title-winning squad could decide to leave Manchester City this summer.

Guardiola has also warned that City cannot be expected to win Doubles and Trebles every single season after their disappointment in losing the FA Cup final at Wembley.

The City boss has set his standards so high that only winning the Premier League this season and with it a history-making fourth consecutive title - feels like a disappointment.

It does feel like a crossroads for this City team because Kevin De Bruyne (with Guardiola, right) will turn 33 this summer and has been targeted by mega-rich Saudi Pro League clubs even if the Belgium midfielder wants to stay.

Barcelona are long-term admirers of Bernardo Silva (top right) while goalkeeper Ederson (circled, far right) has also been on the radar of Saudi clubs. City were so dominant in winning the Treble last year that it was always going to be difficult to emulate that level of success.
