Aleksandar Kolarov admits he could leave

Manchester City defender Aleksandar Kolarov has admitted that he could depart the club before the start of next season.

The 26-year-old has fallen behind Gael Clichy in the pecking order on the left side of the City defence, and he has failed to rule out a move away from Manchester.

"I am in constant contact with my agent, so we will soon see what happens. I am very happy here in Manchester, but my goal is to play with greater regularity. I said it to [coach Roberto] Mancini," he told Corriere dello Sport.

"Money has nothing to do with it and I have no problem with wages. It's simply that I would like to be able to feel more of a regular."

The Serbian joined City from Lazio in 2010.
