There were some brow burping options when Manchester City’s matchday team was announced to be in Saturday’s FA Cup final. Claudio Echeverri was appointed as a substitute for city players for the first time. Echeverri did play a promising cameo in Manchester City's 1 Nal defeat against Crystal Palace. This proves that he joined the game at Manchester City. But, in terms of James McAtee and Jack Grealish, their lack of involvement at Wembley seems to be telling. This seems to point out that neither player will be at Manchester City next season.

James McAtee was surprised to leave Manchester City.

One of the biggest surprises of the City FA Cup final team was that James McAtee didn’t even play on the bench. McAtee played a key role in Manchester City's FA Cup final. He wouldn't even plan to play in the FA Cup finals until the kickoff. This is what makes his non-choice more prominent. It's hard to see McAtee feel satisfied with his non-choice. Now, at the end of the season, it seems impossible to see him stay at Manchester City. Mick Brown had previously reported inside football that McAtee would not be at Manchester City next season. According to Wembley's development, it is difficult to disagree with this view.

Jack Grealish is an unused alternative because his time seems to have arrived in the city.

Another player who doesn't play at Wembley is Jack Grealish. He is an unused alternative to the Crystal Palace. Grealish also played a key role in Manchester City's run against Wembley. But his failure to attend the stadium shows that his time is at Manchester City. This seems obvious over the past few months. Grealish has lost favorable reviews recently and he seems to no longer have the trust of Pep Guardiola. This assumption may not be correct, but it is difficult to draw any other conclusions. Grealish's 24/25 season is frustrating, and perhaps staying away from Manchester City is the best thing to do. Whether this will happen this summer remains to be seen.

Based on Wembley's development, it's hard to see Jack Grealish and James McAtee stay at City after this season. They seem to be the remaining requirement and the position that fits the city roster next season is not obvious. Their future is just two stories that can be monitored in front of the summer transfer window.
