David Sommeil, Kiki Musampa and Albert Riera head a list of 10 players who have been released by Manchester City. French defender Sommeil, 31, was signed for �3.4m from Bordeaux by Kevin Keegan in January 2003 but has not been a regular under Stuart Pearce.
Pearce has also decided not to extend Musampa and Riera's loan deals from Atletico Madrid and Espanyol.
Goalkeeper Geert de Vlieger, defender Mikkel Bischoff and Finnish midfielder Tuomas Haapala are also moving on.
Bischoff was signed for �750,000 in July 2002 but has failed to break into the first team.
Reserve team players Ian Bennett, Karl Bermingham, Paul Collins and Michael Ward have also been told they are surplus to requirements.
