Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was asked about reports that he is planning to overhaul his squad and allow up to 13 players to leave this summer.

"I'm so happy with the squad, the speculation is normal when you're out of the competition, it happens everywhere not just the Premier League," he said.

"I have heard people have written that I will change 12 or 13 players. That is impossible. They have contract. You have to pay them.

"We will try and improve the team. Next month and a half I expect a huge step forward. Next season will be better. Just because the full-backs are out of contract doesn't mean they will all leave. Some will stay."

As for going out of the Champions League on away goals to Monaco, he adds: "Lessons can be learned, that's pretty sure. For a lot of my players it's the first time they've played in this competition.

"Most of the goals we conceded were our mistake, it's happened many times this season and hopefully it will happen less next season."
