Manchester City are now preparing for life after legendary manager Pep Guardiola, with new boss Enzo Maresca now in charge of one of the most star-studded squads in world football.

While some Citizens players are tied down to long-term contracts, others key assets facing uncertain futures at the Etihad Stadium, and here, Sports Mole takes a look at the Sky Blue stars whose contracts either expire at the end of June, or in 2027.
