Gael Clichy: France defender confirms he is leaving Manchester City when his contract expires in the summer

Gael Clichy has confirmed he will NOT be a Manchester CIty player next season.

The France defender, who joined City in the summer of 2011, is out of contract at the end of the 2016/17 season and will not be signing a new deal with the Etihad Stadium club.

When asked at a question and answer session if he would be playing with Joe Hart next season, the 31-year-old said: "It's hard. I'm not sure whether or not Joe will be here next season, and I won't be here next season."

Clichy will leave Pep Guardiola's side as a double Premier League winner, having made 203 appearances since his transfer to Manchester from Arsenal.
