If you want something devoid of Google stuff, you'll likely want to go with a phone that can be flashed with GrapheneOS, which can also optionally run Google Play services in a sandbox for more privacy and control.
LineageOS would probably also be a decent choice if they don't absolutely have to have no Google at all.
The thing with grapheneos is that it's not available to anyone. For example, pixel devices are extremely overpriced here in brazil. So, the best we can do is something like lineageos or /e/.
