One player whose future at the Etihad remains in the balance is £100 million man Jack Grealish.
Former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor believes Grealish needs to leave Manchester City due to his limited playing time over the past 12 months.
Sources at #ManCity have been intimating privately that this summer could be the end of the road for Jack Grealish at the club.

Despite winning several titles with the Cityzens, Grealish has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter.
Agbonlahor, speaking on TalkSport, expressed his concerns about Grealish's situation, saying:
"He loves football, so this season will be hurting him."
"You could see the anger in him in recent games, like 'I don't want to be on the bench, I want to be starting games'."
Agbonlahor emphasized that Grealish deserves to play regularly and be trusted by his manager:
"I want to see him playing every week, I want to see him playing with a manager that trusts him, let him play in the number ten position, let him drift, let him get on the ball and take players on."
"He's 29, he's got a lot to offer, and I'm sure in the summer he'll evaluate what's right for him.
"Maybe go and play at another big club and play week in, week out, especially with a World Cup next season as well.”
Grealish has been a disappointment over the past 12 months at City, scoring just two goals and contributing 4 assists in more than 365 days of football.
