Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola continues clear-out as Fernando joins Galatasaray on three-year deal for £5.5m

MANCEHSTER CITY’S summer clear-out has gathered pace with Fernando on his way Galatasaray for £5.5million.

The Daily Mail have reported the midfielder is set for a medical with the Turkish giants after three years at the Etihad.

Fernando was left out of City’s pre-season tour of the United States and was told he has no future under boss Pep Guardiola.

The Brazilian has only featured once since last December – an FA cup draw at Huddersfield.

After a summer spending spree of £220m – City sporting director Txiki Bergiristan has been given the job off clearing the decks and finding clubs for players surplus to requirements this summer.

City have so far sold Kelechi Iheanacho to Leicesster for £25m and are looking to offload Samir Nasri, Fabian Delph, Wilfried Bony and Eliaquim Mangala.

Guardiola confirmed he expects Nasri to depart before the end of the transfer window, however Mangala has snubbed a switch to Spartak Moscow.

Bony who cost £28m from Swansea in 2015 has failed to make an impact at the Etihad is desperate to kick-start his career elsewhere.

The Swans are in talks to take the Ivory Coast forward back to South Wales but his big £130,000-a-week wage demands could be a stumbling block.

Stoke are prepared to offer Delph a Premier League lifeline – but City want £14m for the former Aston Villa midfielder who featured just 13 times last season under Guardiola.
