Manchester City will strive to offload four of their senior loanees at the end of the season.
The Daily Express reports that City will attempt to agree permanent deals with the loan clubs for the four players Pep Guardiola offloaded upon his arrival - Joe Hart, Samir Nasri, Wilfried Bony and Eliaquim Mangala.
England goalkeeper Hart is with Italian club Torino and enjoying a fairly strong debut season in Serie A, making 18 league appearances for a total of 20 in all competitions.
French playmaker Nasri is in Spain with Sevilla, where he has scored three goals in 17 outings, while Ivory Coast striker Bony has found the back of the net twice in 11 matches with Stoke City.
Bony is currently in Gabon for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations with the Elephants.
The fourth senior loanee is French centre-back Mangala, who has played 15 times for Valencia, but will be discarded by Guardiola at the end of his season-long spell in Spain.
City has 13 other players out on loan this season but the aforementioned quartet are the ones they will get rid of permanently according to the report.
