One of the unnegotiable principles in Pep Guardiola's Manchester City squad is that no place is guaranteed — and that might be why Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus are looking to leave.
Both can be City's best attackers when they are on form and given the chance, with both producing countless memorable moments or match-winning goals on the big stage.
However, neither were getting the time they felt they deserved recently, with Erling Haaland's arrival adding to the competition.
Now, it looks like they will both leave City this summer, for a combined fee of over £100m, and that leaves City with less competition, but also an opportunity to promote the next generation of attacker at the club — another defining principle of the modern-day City.
