Manchester City are ready to release several of their senior players on-loan this month.
The Sunday Mirror says City boss Roberto Mancini will not stand in the way of Emmanuel Adebayor, Roque Santa Cruz, Wayne Bridge or Shaun Wright-Phillips who are all likely to leave on loan deals.
Adebayor has Aston Villa and Fulham chasing his signature, while Lazio are locked in talks with Santa Cruz.
West Ham are set to beat Villa to a loan deal for defender Bridge and Liverpool were interested in winger Wright-Phillips although that deal is uncertain after Roy Hodgson's departure from Liverpool.
