Mangala has penned a two-year contract and will now play for the Champions League participants until at least 2021.

The eight-cap France star spent the 2016-17 season on loan at Valencia, making 30 league appearances and scoring two goals.

Since joining Man City in 2014 - when he joined from Porto in a £30million fee - Mangala has never really tied down a first-team spot.

He made just 57 Premier League appearances, with only nine of those coming in his last season at the Etihad 2017-18 season.

Mangala failed to play a single match last season for City as they won the Prem title - edging Liverpool out by a single point.

In fact, the former Standard Liege man's last competitive game was in February 2018.

Meanwhile, Man City ace Raheem Sterling could sign a monster £100million boot deal with Nike Air Jordan.

The sportswear brand are hoping to take on Nike and adidas having broken into the football market just a year ago.

Sterling, 23, could become one of the first players to wear Jordan - a subsidiary of Nike - football boots.

Jordan only broke into football around a year ago, taking on the branding of Paris Saint-Germain's kit.

Now they are set to table one of the most lucrative boot deals in the world to lure Sterling into signing with them.
