Micah Richards set for summer exit

Manchester City defender Micah Richards looks set to leave the club in the summer, according to The Metro.

The England international is keen on a fresh challenge, having found first-team appearances hard to come by under manager Manuel Pellegrini.

The report claims that Richards could move to league rivals Liverpool during the summer transfer window, with manager Brendan Rodgers eager to add a top-class defender to his ranks for the next campaign.

Micah Richards has played just 7 games for the Citizens in all competitions this season and has not appeared for the England national side since February 2012.
