I don’t think it is realistic, but if they had to go to the Championship, do you think there will be players who want to stay and get up again, or they just look for an other Club? Which club would even be a possibility for the biggest city stars?
Sorry for my english
Not much. Look at Juve, a bunch of their best players stayed.
I’ve no doubt the academy lads like Foden and Lewis would stay. Some of the older established players like De Bruyne have likely already decided where they’ll end their careers and that wouldn’t change it, so they’d probably stay too.
Any that wanted to leave would require a club to come in with an acceptable transfer fee and be able to offer similar wages, there aren’t really many options considering that. Maybe Haaland to Real, but I don’t think there would be too much movement.
