Manchester City winger Adam Johnson could have played his last game for the North-West club after reportedly angrily confronting manager Roberto Mancini.
The England international, who is due to feature for the Three Lions in Wednesday's friendly against Italy, has had a question mark over his future due to his failure to secure a regular starting spot with the Premier League champions.
It is understood that Johnson aired his frustrations at his Italian boss ahead of Sunday's 3-2 win over Chelsea after he was snubbed from the starting lineup for the Community Shield clash, according to the Daily Star.
While Liverpool have been linked with a move for the 25-year-old, reports have claimed that Everton are favourites to snap up with winger on a season-long loan.
