Defender Pablo Maffeo has left Manchester City in order to sign a deal with German side Stuttgart.
Maffeo has spent the last 16 months with Girona, with 32 appearances coming in the club's first-ever campaign in La Liga.
There had been the prospect of Maffeo returning to the Etihad Stadium to act as deputy to Kyle Walker, but the 20-year-old will now link up with Stuttgart.
The right-back had been with City since 2013, with a total of three matches being played for the North-West giants in cup competitions.
Maffeo featured in the first half of the 2016-17 campaign, with outings coming against Steaua Bucuresti and Celtic in the Champions League and against Manchester United in the EFL Cup.
