"Manchester City" is planning to sell right-back defender Micah Richards for about 8 million pounds sterling after this season, reports "The Sun".

The Englishman lost his place in the starting lineup after suffering an injury. Pablo Zabaleta currently confidently plays in this position, and it seems that M. Richards is forced to change clubs.

According to the source mentioned, the main candidate to acquire the 25-year-old footballer is London's "Arsenal". The "Gunners" have been interested in him for some time.

Also, the "Liverpool" team promises to compete for the defender, who sought the services of an England national team player in January, but at that time "Man City" refused to loan the player.

M. Richards has been playing in the main "Citizens" team since 2005. During this period, the Englishman appeared on the field 241 times and scored nine goals.
