Manchester City plotting mass summer clear-out: 12 players set to leave Etihad Stadium

4. Aleksandar Kolarov

The versatile Serbian lacks the defensive discipline to play under an Italian after will be shipped out after slipping behind Gael Clichy in the pecking order.

3. Joleon Lescott

Despite playing a key part in City’s title-winning side, the England international has lost his place to 20-year-old Matija Nastasic this season. At 30, Lescott will want to be playing regular first team football and could move back to Everton.
