Rodri – with four Premier League titles and a Champions League crown to his name – is not the only City star to have seen an imminent exit mooted. Portuguese defender Ruben Dias is another of those said to be mulling over his options.
Pressed on whether Guardiola will be followed out of the door by a few familiar faces, Reid added: “There’ll be changes, I think inevitably. Pep’s reign at Manchester City is there for all to see – outstanding. A new regime, I think it’s only natural that there will be changes. That’s part of football.
“The way Sir Alex (Ferguson) went, changes it, at Manchester United for a long time – it happens. It’s how they manage it. There is still a lot of quality players at Manchester City, as we know. But definitely a new regime.
“I think it’s fascinating. Obviously I’m focused on the World Cup, but next year, the Premiership, is going to be so interesting it’s untrue. Different managerial changes – not just at Man City. It’s going to be a fascinating season.”
