Right-back Sagna joined City in 2014, also from Arsenal, and went on to make 85 appearances for the club, including more than 50 starts in the Premier League.

Winger Navas, who arrived from Sevilla in 2013, won the Premier League with City in 2014 and leaves with two League Cup winners' medals having started 117 games for the club.

Goalkeeper Caballero made 48 appearances for City, including 27 under manager Pep Guardiola this season.

The Argentine's most notable moment in a City shirt came at the 2016 League Cup final, where his penalty heroics helped to defeat Liverpool.

Caballero told the club's website: "It's been a privilege to play for Manchester City.
