Manchester City Fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays reports that Nicolás Otamendi is ‘on his way out’ as Pep Guardiola rebuild his defence this summer.
Although Otamendi still has one years left on his contract, City have no intention of extending his deal.
Pep Guardiola has preferred holding midfielder Fernandinho at centre-half at times which is an ominous sign for the former Valencia defender.
With Nathan Ake having already been signed from Bournemouth, it appears increasingly likely that the 32-year-old will be allowed to depart the club.
