Roberto Mancini planning Manchester City clear-out?

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has reportedly decided to clear a number of his players out during the summer.

It is believed that Mancini has been frustrated by his squad's performances in the Champions League and Premier League this season and as a result is prepared to let 11 squad members depart the Etihad Stadium.

Carlos Tevez, Gareth Barry and Joleon Lescott will all have just 12 months left on their contracts at the end of the campaign and Mancini is willing to cash in on the trio, according to The Guardian.

The report went on to claim that Edin Dzeko, Samir Nasri, Maicon, Scott Sinclair and John Guidetti could also be sold for the right price.

Meanwhile, Kolo Toure, Roque Santa Cruz and Wayne Bridge will all be out of contract when the season concludes and are expected to be released.
