MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – Manchester City’s squad overhaul in recent years has seen several players depart the Etihad Stadium. But how have these former Citizens fared since leaving the club?
We take a look at the post-Man City careers of eight players who have moved on to pastures new.
1. *Joao Cancelo* (Bayern Munich): The Portuguese full-back’s surprise loan move to Bayern has been a resounding success, with Cancelo playing a key role in the German giants’ title charge.
2. *Julian Alvarez* (River Plate): Alvarez’s return to his boyhood club has been marred by injury and inconsistent form. The Argentine forward is yet to recapture his best form since leaving City.
3. *Riyad Mahrez’s former backup, Patrick Roberts* (Sunderland): Roberts’ permanent move to Sunderland has seen the winger enjoy regular game time and contribute to the Black Cats’ promotion push.
4. *Angeliño* (RB Leipzig): The Spanish left-back has established himself as a key player for RB Leipzig, providing width and attacking threat in the Bundesliga.
5. *Lukas Nmecha* (Wolfsburg): Nmecha’s move to Wolfsburg has seen the German striker enjoy a productive spell, scoring crucial goals and helping his side challenge for European qualification.
6. *Jack Harrison* (Leeds United): Harrison’s loan move to Leeds has been made permanent, with the English winger playing a vital role in the Whites’ Premier League survival bid.
7. *Yangel Herrera* (Girona): Herrera’s loan spell at Girona has seen the Venezuelan midfielder gain valuable experience and contribute to the Spanish side’s La Liga survival.
8. *Pedro Porro* (Sporting CP): Porro’s move to Sporting CP has seen the Spanish right-back enjoy a successful spell, winning the Portuguese league title and earning international recognition.
These players’ experiences serve as a reminder that life after Manchester City can be just as rewarding – and challenging – as their time at the Etihad.
