Costel Pantilimon is a surprise inclusion on Manchester City's end-of-season released list.

The Romanian goalkeeper has not extended his stay at the Etihad Stadium after three years with the club in which he has failed to nail down a first-team berth.

But shot-stopper Richard Wright has been offered a contract according to the Premier League, as has homegrown-qualified defender Dedryk Boyata.

The pair saw little playing time in 2013-14 but the Blues may be hoping to retain them with next season's Champions League squad-size sanctions in mind.

However, English duo Gareth Barry and Joleon Lescott have been allowed to leave as expected.
