Caballero latest to depart Man City

Manchester City have announced that Willy Caballero will leave the club when his contract expires on June 30.

The goalkeeper, who joined from Malaga in 2014, made 27 appearances this season after forcing his way into manager Pep Guardiola’s starting line-up ahead of the out-of-sorts Claudio Bravo.

However, the 35-year-old’s deal will not be renewed and he will quit City next month.
“It’s been a privilege to play for Manchester City,” the Argentine told reporters.
“From the first day I arrived, everyone at the club has made me feel welcome and I will always be grateful to them.

“To win the League Cup in such dramatic circumstances was special and it’s a day I will never forget.”

Caballero made saves to deny Lucas Leiva, Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana as City won the EFL Cup in 2016 in what proved to be his sole success in England in terms of silverware.

Director of football Txiki Begiristain believes City fans will always hold Caballero in the highest regard.

“Willy will, quite rightly, be remembered by the City fans for the role he has played over the past three seasons,” he said.

City’s announcement followed the news that Gael Clichy and Jesus Navas will also leave before next season.

Manchester City confirmed Gael Clichy will leave the club at the end of his contract on June 30.

The left-back had already revealed he was on his way out of the Etihad Stadium and City have formalised his imminent departure.

Clichy, 31, joined City from Arsenal in 2011 and won two Premier League titles and League Cups during his time at the club.

Clichy made more than 200 appearances for City, scoring three goals.
It is not yet known where he will continue his career.
