Manchester City to sell three players next week?

Manchester City will reportedly look to offload three players before the transfer window slams shut.

Following his arrival at the Etihad this summer, manager Pep Guardiola has overseen a squad overhaul, bringing in the likes of Claudio Bravo, Nolito, Ilkay Gundogan, Leroy Sane and John Stones.

Long-term number one keeper Joe Hart has been told that he can leave the club on loan in the wake of Bravo's arrival, with Sunderland his most likely destination.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Guardiola has also decided that Samir Nasri, Eliaquim Mangala and Wilfried Bony are not part of his plans and has sanctioned the sale or loan of the players.

"We're working on it," Guardiola told reporters. "Some of them, we have taken a decision on and they know that and their [agents] know that. The other ones, maybe they will stay, maybe they are going."

Mangala, who is rated at £42m, has been linked with a loan switch to Napoli, while Nasri could move to Besiktas and West Ham United have expressed interest in Bony.

Guardiola also insisted that Bravo would be City's final incoming of the window, saying that there was "no chance" of further additions before Wednesday.
