Neither Gundogan nor Bernardo, the first to leave Manchester City and shocks Pep Guardiola

There is no doubt that Manchester City is facing important departures for the next season and therefore, Pep Guardiola may have to think about some readjustments for his squad, as well as possible reinforcements. Now, the decision of one of the players to leave Manchester City unexpectedly is not Bernardo Silva or Iikay Gundogan.

Zack Steffen lost the backup goalkeeper position at Manchester City to the German, Stefan Ortega, who is now the first choice when Ederson is out. Therefore, City will no longer count on him and have priced an exit price for the American goalkeeper so that, once his loan with Middlesbrough comes to an end, he can leave for a new adventure.

The 28-year-old goalkeeper arrived at City in 2019 from Major League Soccer's Columbus Crew and, due to a string of errors under the three posts, was never able to gain Pep Guardiola's trust. He made 21 appearances for Manchester City and kept a clean sheet in 8 games.

Where will Steffen go?

The player was on loan at Middlesbrough and now, it comes as a surprise to find out what would be his main destination for next season. Although I had a great time at City and I love those guys and obviously it's an incredible club, the truth is that I have no plans to return," Steffen said after being questioned about his future," he said in an interview with English media when asked if he will return to Manchester City.
