Exodus at the Etihad

Manchester City are set to spend big this summer, in order to rejuvenate the squad for Pep Guardiola's second season in charge.

With Pablo Zabaleta saying goodbye to the Etihad two weeks ago, the clear-out has continued with the club confirming four departures on Thursday.

Jesus Navas will leave after four years at the club and 77 Premier League starts, and the Spaniard is tipped for a return to former side Sevilla. City football director Txiki Begiristain praised the winger: 'Working with Jesus has been a pleasure, his hard work, dedication, professionalism and desire to win have been apparent every single day'.

Gael Clichy  is another confirmed exit after over 200 fixtures in his six years of service to the Citizens. Willy Caballero will also say goodbye, two seasons after joining from Malaga, having just played 22 league games.

Bakary Sagna has spent the last three seasons at the Etihad, featuring in 41 league fixtures.
