Defender Martin Demichelis has left Manchester City at the end of his contract, the Premier League club have confirmed.

A 2014 World Cup finalist with Argentina, Demichelis was fined £22,000 and warned by the Football Association in May for breaking betting rules.

The centre back, who joined from Atletico Madrid in 2013, made 105 appearances for City and was part of the title-winning squad in 2013-14.
