At least four senior players will be offloaded by Manchester City this summer.
The People says farmed-out stars Craig Bellamy and Emmanuel Adebayor - on loan at Cardiff and Real Madrid respectively - are due back at City next week, but manager Roberto Mancini is not keen on either forward coming back permanently after spats with both players.
They will join left-back Wayne Bridge, due back from his loan at West Ham.
Back-up keeper Shay Given will also be part of a quartet leaving Eastlands once the season is over.
