sportsmole.co.uk, 3 July 2024, 20:00
After winning a record fourth successive Premier League title in 2023-24, Manchester City are expected to be active in the summer transfer window as they endeavour to retain their crown and compete for other domestic and continental trophies in the new campaign.

The Citizens have one of the most star-studded squads in world football, with some players tied down to long-term contracts and others facing uncertain futures at the club.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the Man City players whose contracts either expire at the end of next summer, or in 2026.
