The Manchester City boss says the Serbian is close to returning to Serie A, though the move leaves the Blues short of options in defence
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says he will let Aleksandar Kolarov join Roma because he "does not like to work with people who don’t want to stay."
Guardiola revealed after City's 2-0 defeat to Manchester United at the International Champions Cup that Kolarov has asked to leave.
The Serbian joined City from Lazio in 2010 and Guardiola says the chance to return to Rome has proven decisive, and left the Blues short of defensive cover as they push to finalise a deal for Monaco left-back Benjamin Mendy.
