Man City reason for Raheem Sterling, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus sales explained

Pep Guardiola has opened up about Manchester City's decision to sell Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko this summer.

City have been one of the busiest Premier League clubs in the transfer window so far, having signed four players and letting another five leave. Erling Haaland Julian Alvarez, Kalvin Phillips and Stefan Ortega have replaced Jesus, Sterling, Zinchenko and Fernandinho, while Zack Steffen has joined Middlesbrough on loan and a number of academy players have departed permanently or on loan.

It's been an unusually busy summer for City in the transfer market, and there is some risk in allowing the three key outfield players to depart, but Guardiola was positive when reviewing the club's business so far. He also explained how this summer feels different to others he has had at the club since joining from Bayern Munich in 2016.
