One Manchester City player reportedly has no intention of extending his stay at the Etihad Stadium, having said to have already decided on his next move.
In recent weeks, City have found it tough to produce their best football amid their bid to chase down Arsenal in the race to become Premier League champions.
Having drawn with Nottingham Forest and West Ham United in their last two Premier League matches, Pep Guardiola's men now trail Arsenal by nine points with eight games left to play.
Meanwhile, City face a monumental task in Europe after losing their UEFA Champions League round of 16 first leg 3-0 against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

Now, it has been claimed that one of their key players could be looking to leave the club.
As reported by Catalan news outlet El Nacional, the negotiations between City and Rodri over a new contract have 'broken'.
It has been claimed that Rodri has also told his agents that he has no intention to sign a new deal with City.
Instead, Rodri would reportedly like to return to Spain and finish his career there.
Rodri's contract with City is set to come to an end when the 26/27 season finishes.
Ever since moving to City from La Liga giants Atletico Madrid, Rodri became one of Guardiola's most important players.
The Spaniard has so far made 291 appearances across all competitions, scoring 28 goals.
He has also won the Ballon d'Or after a wonderful 23/24 campaign.
However, in September 2024, Rodri suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury against Arsenal and missed the remainder of the 24/25 season.
Since returning to action, the 29-year-old has found it tough to return to his best.
Rodri and City will be back in action on Tuesday night when they take on Madrid at the Etihad Stadium.
