Manchester City's talented defender Josko Gvardiol has spoken in a wide-ranging interview with The Athletic about various topics, particularly the departure of Pep Guardiola, who is leaving the team after a successful spell. Gvardiol commented: "Some will say that he could have told us earlier, while others have a different opinion. I think it was the right time because an early announcement could have affected us mentally. We already had the feeling that he was unsure about whether to stay or go last season. It was great for us that he ended up staying because we had another year to win something. Two years ago we had a difficult period with 13 games without a win. Unfortunately, it was over now the time to say goodbye, but with him you never know: maybe in six months he will find the energy to return.", In addition to Guardiola, the Croatian also spoke about the departures of John Stones and Bernardo Silva. He recalled how he regarded Stones as one of the best central defenders in the world and had often asked him for his autograph in the past. He said: "We were very close and he was one of the most entertaining players on the team, along with Matheus Nunes. Now Matheus has to find a new soul mate. Bernardo was also an extraordinary person and teammate. We will see how much we will miss them when we get together again at the beginning of the season. We will miss both of them very much." However, Gvardiol believes John Stones made the best decision by leaving Manchester City to join Inter Milan: "It's the perfect club for him. He'll love living in Italy. And Bernardo has also returned to where he felt he belonged; he's been talking about Spain for a long time." This move from Stones to Inter could prove to be a significant step in his career and Gvardiol seems to be convinced that Stones will enjoy a new, successful phase in Milan. The coming months will show how these changes will affect teams and whether the departures of key players such as Stones and Silva will present new challenges for Manchester City.

What happens next

With John Stones' move to Inter, Serie A is expected to have another talented player in its ranks. Gvardiol and his teammates must now adapt and develop new strategies to compensate for the loss of experienced players. The coming games will show how these changes affect Manchester City's performance.
