Gael Clichy is set to leave Manchester City this summer following the end of his current contract, Sky sources understand.

The 31-year-old signed from Arsenal in 2011 and has made 192 appearances for City in his six years at the club, lifting the Premier League title on two occasions.

City have not confirmed the Frenchman's departure but the left-back spoke at a fans' question-and-answer event.

Asked whether he might be playing alongside goalkeeper Joe Hart, who is currently on loan at Torino, next season, Clichy reportedly said: "It's hard. I'm not sure whether or not Joe will be here next season, and I won't be here next season."

Clichy is one of several City players whose contracts are due to expire this summer, with right-back Pablo Zabaleta having already announced his departure from the club.
