Skysports.com understands Kelvin Etuhu is set to leave Manchester City on a free transfer.
Etuhu, who has come through the youth ranks at City, is thought to be close to agreeing a deal to cancel his contract.
The 22-year-old has found himself well down the pecking order at City and both parties are ready to go their separate ways.
Etuhu enjoyed a season on loan at Cardiff last term and helped the Championship club reach the play-off final where they lost to Blackpool.
The move to cancel his contract will leave Etuhu free to find a new club in January and there are thought to be a number of clubs waiting in the wings to sign the versatile attacker.
I didn't think he would make it at City from the first time I saw him. Seems like a 'speedboat with no driver' type of player. He needs to watch what he does in the future though and keep his head down and one day he might make it at a team like Bolton.
