Man City's most expensive sales ever

While a host of star names have arrived at Manchester City in big-money deals, the Citizens have also recouped considerable sums from the sale of several players over the years.

Some of those decided to depart in search of regular first-team football, while others opted to seek a fresh challenge following a successful trophy-filled spell at the club.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the most expensive sales in Man City's history.
