Date published: 23 May 2017


GAEL Clichy has reportedly confirmed he is leaving Manchester City following the conclusion of their season.

The 31-year-old left-back was one of a number of players at the Etihad Stadium coming out of contract this summer.

City have not confirmed the Frenchman's departure but the former Arsenal defender spoke at a fans' question-and-answer event.

Asked whether he might be playing alongside goalkeeper Joe Hart, who is currently on loan at Torino, next season, Clichy reportedly 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."

Meanwhile, Yaya Toure has expressed his desire to see out the rest of his career at City.

He said: "I need to be honest, I'd love to play more. I just want that when I do finish I can finish at City."
