Petrov admits transfer relief

The Bulgarian found himself on the fringes of the City team last season and after another summer of big spending the 31 year old is glad to be away from Roberto Mancini’s side.

“100 per cent no, I don’t miss City. If I accepted their one-year offer now I would be on loan somewhere else,” Petrov told Bulgarian newspaper Trud.

“At City nothing is clear. The team are looking for identity.”

“At the moment at City people are becoming more bad than good,” added Petrov.

“The human relationships are lost and the trust is lost too. In this situation the players are going to play like millionaires in games and are not a team on the pitch.”
