The club announced that the 32-year-old defender won’t be renewing his contract when it expires in July, bringing an end to his nine years stay in the City of Manchester.
Iheanacho who was unselected for Zabaleta’s last home game as the Citizens cruised to a 3-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday, appreciated the Argentina international for his impact.
