Martin Demichelis' exit from Manchester City has been confirmed after three years with the club.
Sources told ESPN FC in May that the 35-year-old defender would not be offered a new deal when his contract expired on June 30.
Demichelis made 106 appearances for City after joining from Atletico Madrid in September 2013 -- winning the Premier League and two Capital One Cup winners' medal.
He has been linked with a move back to his former club River Plate in his native Argentina after revealing he almost joined the Buenos Aires side 12 months ago.
