Aleksander Kolarov moved to City in 2010 for a fee of £16 million, but found his playing time marginalised due to the arrival of Gael Clichy in the following season.
Making just 29 appearances in all competitions in the 15/16 season, Kolarov's form has been highly inconsistent. Besiktas have shown interest in the Serbian left back and according to reports a deal in the range of £3 million is expected to be finalised by the end of July.

About the author
Arvind Sriram
After a brief and undistinguished stint as an electrical engineer, Arvind discovered his true calling was churning out hyperbolic prose about athletes he had never met.
A writer and editor with close to a decade’s experience, Arvind’s work has been published on Sky Sports, the BBC, the Guardian and other leading websites. He has attended multiple Grand Slams on the ground and provided coverage for Super Bowls and the NBA playoffs.
As a lifelong fan of Arsenal and the Indianapolis Colts, he has mastered the art of managing expectations and can convince anyone that finishing fourth is a moral victory.
When not armchair quarterbacking, Arvind spends his time playing blitz chess online, watching air crash documentaries and smashing controllers after his latest Weekend League defeat.
