Four players leave Treble-winning Man City as free agents after their contracts expired today, including a one-time £52m star defender and Barcelona-bound midfielder

The four players on Manchester City's released list have now now officially left the club, with Ilkay Gundogan, who has joined Barcelona, and one-time £52million signing Benjamin Mendy another.

It has proven to be a low key start to the summer in terms of incomings and outgoings for the Treble winners.

But four contracts have now expired, with captain Gundogan the biggest loss, which Pep Guardiola has acted swiftly to offset with the £25m signing of Mateo Kovacic.

Mendy, who is facing a retrial over rape and sexual assault claims, has been released by City after six years at the club.
