RUMOURS: Man City to release seven players on a free
Yaya Toure, Jesus Navas, Willy Caballero, Pablo Zabaleta, Bacary Sagna, Gael Clichy and Aleksandar Kolarov could all be moved on as Pep Guardiola looks to reshape his squad
Manchester City will release seven players at the end of their respective contracts in the summer, reports AS, which claims that Yaya Toure and Jesus Navas will be among those moved on.
Willy Caballero, Pablo Zabaleta, Bacary Sagna, Gael Clichy and Aleksandar Kolarov are also said to be allowed to walk away from the Etihad Stadium as Pep Guardiola looks to reshape his squad.
All of those deemed surplus to requirements have entered the final six months of their current deals and will drop into the free-agent pool at the end of the season as a result.
Guardiola did spend big upon his arrival in the Premier League but is looking to clear out the deadwood inherited from Manuel Pellegrini before adding fresh faces to his ranks.
