Roberto Mancini is to begin a mass cull at the end of the season to clear out some of Manchester City’s biggest earners - and rebuild his team.
Carlos Tevez, Edin Dzeko, Samir Nasri, Joleon Lescott, Aleksandar Kolarov, Scott Sinclair and Maicon are reported to be surplus to requirements at Eastlands, whilst the futures of Gareth Barry and James Milner are also supposedly in question.
According to the Mirror - Wayne Bridge, Roque Santa Cruz, Kolo Toure and Richard Wright will all be allowed to leave when their contracts expire at the end of the season in a series of moves that will see City slash their wage bill by £12m in total.
