Scott Carson, a revered figure at Manchester City since joining from Derby County in 2019, is set to leave the club this summer. Despite having made only two appearances during his six years, his contribution to the team's triumphs, including the Champions League win, has solidified his status among fans. Carson, now 39, will be replaced by Chelsea's Marcus Bettinelli, who will serve as the third-choice goalkeeper. Bettinelli has had limited appearances at Chelsea, and this strategic signing aligns with Manchester City’s goalkeeping needs as they prepare for upcoming competitions.
