Manchester City look set to lose a long-serving member of Pep Guardiola’s squad, with the club’s stalwart now on course to complete a move to Premier League rivals.
The player has been a loyal servant at the Etihad Stadium during a trophy-heavy spell under Guardiola, playing a supporting role in a team that has dominated English football. But his time in Manchester appears to be coming to an end, with a transfer now progressing towards a conclusion.
City are not expected to stand in the way as the switch gathers pace, with the deal moving towards the final stages and the player closing in on a new chapter elsewhere in the division.
The impending exit would end an important period at City for a figure who has been regularly trusted by Guardiola, even when not always a headline name. With the move edging closer, City are set to part ways with a familiar face as a Premier League rival prepares to add proven experience.
