Midfielder Ilkay Gundogan was the last guard to leave, joining Galatasaray on a free transfer.
Despite being loved by Pep Guardiola, the German star still follows center-back Manuel Akanji and goalkeeper Ederson to find a new destination.
Man City carried out a thorough purge, terminating Gundogan's contract early to free up salary funds and create space for the new squad.
It is known that Ilkay Gundogan was Pep's first contract at Man City in the summer of 2016. He stayed for 7 years before joining Barcelona.
Gundogan returned to the club in August 20224 and played 33 Premier League games last season. However, his form declined at the same time as Man City weakened.
"Man City will always have a special place in my heart. I am sure the club will achieve even more success in the future. From Turkey, I will always follow and cheer for Citizens." - Gundogan expressed.
Goalkeeper Ederson could face Gundogan this season, after he moved to Fenerbahce for £11 million.
The 32-year-old has fallen out of favour since the arrival of James Trafford. With the arrival of Gianluigi Donnarumma, Ederson's departure was a foregone conclusion.
Meanwhile, Manuel Akanji joined Inter Milan on a season-long loan, with a £13m buyout clause.
At the age of 30, the Swiss midfielder can use his experience in Serie A - a league that does not rely heavily on physical strength and speed like the Premier League.
