Roque has joined Real Betis, who were promoted back into Spain’s top flight after winning Spain’s Segunda Division last season. The 30-year-old striker has not featured for City’s first team since the goalless draw with Birmingham City last November, and he spent the latter part of 2010/11 on loan at his previous club, Blackburn Rovers.
Vladimir has also headed to Spain, where he will play for Espanyol. The Slovakian winger has made a good impression on previous spells away from City, at Bolton Wanderers in 2009/10 and Rangers for the whole of the last campaign.
Away from the senior squad, City’s young German goalkeeper Loris Karius is returning to his homeland after agreeing a loan deal with Bundesliga side FSV Mainz.
