Manchester City are busy planning their squad for the new season - but what could the Blues team look like in five years?
As the country moves on from the general election drama of the last few days and a new government gets settled in, it is now likely that voters will not go to the polls until 2029 after years of change at Westminster.
In Manchester City's case, the club are good at signing players on long-term contracts and future-proofing their assets. Pep Guardiola is unlikely to be in charge in another five years, while there is currently only one contracted player for the 2028/29 season.ALSO READ: Kevin De Bruyne replacement truth emerges amid Saudi Arabia links and Dani Olmo rumours
There are seven players under contract until 2028, with a few of those likely to be offered extensions in the next four years. Rico Lewis and Josko Gvardiol seem like good bets to be at City in 2029, as does Jeremy Doku if he continues his good form from last season. Phil Foden has a deal until 2027 but will surely not depart.
Erling Haaland has a deal until 2027 and could still be at City in five years when he is 28 - although his camp have spoken openly of the desire to play in other leagues later in his career. Ruben Dias would be 32 in 2029, with Manu Akanji and Rodri being 33, all potentially still at the club.
