Another player who was a key member of the Manchester City side for a long time is Aleksandar Kolarov. However, going by his performance this season, it seems like his time at the Etihad is coming to an end really soon. Guardiola has kept his faith in the Serbian powerhouse in games this season, but he has hardly done enough to impress the manager.
Now aged 31, Kolarov does not have much resale value. His contract will expire in the summer of 2018 and Pep will surely look to part ways with the Serb this summer and cash in on him while he can rather than lose him for nothing next season.

Snehanjan Banerjee
Snehanjan is a journalist at Sportskeeda covering European football news. A hardcore Liverpool fan for over two decades, he has been covering the game since the past 8 years and always strives to give readers relevant, accurate and credible content.
Snehanjan developed an interest in football at a very young age, thanks to his father watching football on TV. His favorite player is club legend Steven Gerrard and his favorite manager is another legend in Jurgen Klopp. The ‘Miracle of Istanbul’ i.e., Liverpool beating AC Milan in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final left an indelible mark on him. He believes that Liverpool is a family unlike other top clubs, which sets them apart.
Snehanjan also follows Indian Super League and the I-League, although the latter is closer to his heart. If he could change a rule in football, it would be VAR not pointing out mistakes of on-field officials unless they are clear and obvious errors. Outside the football world, Snehanjan likes to explore the various genres of music and watch movies and shows on OTT. He’s also a car enthusiast and likes to follow the automobile world.
