Manchester City confirm Pablo Zabaleta will leave at end of season

Pablo Zabaleta will leave Manchester City at the end of the season, the club have confirmed.

The veteran Argentina full-back's contract is expiring this summer and he will depart as the third longest serving player, having signed in August 2008 just eight days after Vincent Kompany.

The two-time Premier League winner told Sky Sports this week that he was not sure what City planned to do with his future but insisted his heart would always remain at the Etihad come what may.

A City statement following a 2-1 win at home to Leicester read: "Pablo has informed the club he will move to pastures new, but leave behind many happy memories.

"Fans will have the opportunity to show their appreciation for one of the Club's most loyal and loved servants of recent times against West Brom on Tuesday evening, which will be Pablo's last home appearance."

West Ham are among a number of clubs interested in the 32-year-old, who is looking for at least a two-year deal with his next club, which may prove to be the final move he makes in his 15-year career.

It began as a youth at his local Buenos Aires club of Obras Sanitarias before joining San Lorenzo and breaking into the first team there at 17 in 2002.

Zabaleta was snapped up by Spanish club Espanyol in 2005 and made his debut for Argentina the same year, but he was overlooked by Diego Maradona for the 2010 World Cup squad despite joining City in a £6.5m deal two years earlier.

He won his first trophy with City in 2011 - the FA Cup - before his first Premier League title under Roberto Mancini in 2012. Zabaleta then won the league and League Cup double under Manuel Pellegrini in 2014 and the League Cup again last season.

Six other City players see their contracts expire at the end of the season including Bacary Sagna, Gael Clichy, Yaya Toure, Tosin Adarabioyo, Jesus Navas and goalkeeper Willy Caballero.

City said: "Though there are a number of first-team player contracts currently under consideration, Pablo's situation is the only one that has been fully finalised."

【now.com體育】曼城官方證實，效力球會8年的阿根廷後衛薩巴列達，將於本季結束後離隊，周二將上演其在曼城的主場告別戰。

曼城於周末以2:1打敗李斯特城後發表聲明，證實薩巴列達（Pablo Zabaleta）將會離隊：「柏保路已告知球會，他會尋求更理想發展，不過留下很多美好回憶。球迷將有機會在周二晚對西布朗時，向這位陣中其一最忠誠的球員致意，那將是柏保路在主場的最後比賽。」

32歲的薩巴列達於2008年入「城」，目前藍月陣中比他資深的，只有早他8天加盟的高柏尼。這位阿根廷國腳於2011年協助曼城贏得英足盃，到翌季首奪英超冠軍。他之前再協助藍月贏過多個獎項。

消息指，多間球會對這位守將有興趣，當中包括韋斯咸，而他情歸何處，很大程度取決於哪間球會願意為他提供至少兩年合約。

West Ham are close to completing a deal to sign Pablo Zabaleta on a free transfer, according to Sky sources.

The Argentina defender will leave Manchester City when his contract expires at the end of June and is in final negotiations over a switch to the Hammers.

Sky Sports News HQ revealed in April that West Ham were interested in bringing Zabaleta to London Stadium.

If the deal goes through, the 32-year-old will become Slaven Bilic's first major signing of the summer and compete with Sam Byram for the right-back berth at West Ham.

Bilic has been looking to add to his options at right-back with Alvaro Arbeloa set to depart the club in the summer following the conclusion of his one-year deal.

Zabaleta joined City from Espanyol in 2008 and went on to make over 300 appearances for the club, winning the Premier League on two occasions.

Zabaleta joined City from Espanyol in 2008 and went on to make over 300 appearances for the club, winning the Premier League on two occasions.

【now.com體育】韋斯咸宣佈正式簽入阿根廷後衛薩巴列達，合約為期兩年，而這亦是鎚仔幫今夏作出的第1個重要收購。

薩巴列達（Pablo Zabaleta）早前宣佈將於季後離開效力8年的曼城，另謀更佳發展，該阿根廷後衛在拒絕了一眾來自意大利、西班牙和英格蘭球會的邀請後，最終於周五宣佈以自由身加盟韋斯咸，合約為期兩年。

薩巴列達在鎚仔幫的官方電視頻道說：「成為韋斯咸一份子絕對是樂事，希望可帶給你美好時光，當然，我到此是為了自我享受，希望可以取得成功，作為一個人和一位球員，新挑戰就是你的所須，這我認為在曼城時已經做到過，那是夢幻一般的9年，絕對出色。」

「曼城賦予我來到這個美好聯賽的機會，一些我作為一位球員所享受的事，當然，對我來說那是繼續向前走的合適時間，同時作為一名球員，我認為自己很想留在英超比賽，在這國家生活了這麼久後，對我而言，那是在英超的一個新挑戰，我已準備就緒，十分期待。」
