There was a reunion - as well as a farewell - as almost the entire Manchester City squad headed out to one of Manchester's fanciest restaurants on Monday night.
The Blues squad welcomed former City defender Kyle Walker back into the fold as they headed out to Greek restaurant Fenix to give departing team-mate Manuel Akanji a good send-off.
The leaving party saw the likes of Phil Foden, Ruben Dias, Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Nathan Ake out in stylish ensembles to head to Fenix, known as one of the city centre's top restaurants since launching in 2023.
Kyle, wearing a snazzy jumper with brace effect detail, won't have to wait long to see his former Blues pals again though - as on Saturday he will make his Etihad Stadium return with his new club Burnley.
He was personally invited to the leaving party by Akanji, who left City to join Inter on loan on transfer deadline day at the beginning of the month, and could join the Italian club permanently next summer.
He spent three years at the Etihad after joining from Dortmund, and started in the Champions League final in 2023 when City won the Treble.
He spoke earlier this month about his sadness at leaving City saying: "My family and I have felt very comfortable in Manchester, and we will definitely miss life there.”
His City pals appear to have given him a good send off though - and he was seen leaving Fenix carrying what appeared to be a present in a designer carrier bag.
The team tucked into gourmet food inside the restaurant - which is known for a host of traditional Greek dishes like moussaka, octopus, calamari and souvlaki, as well as meats and fish cooked on an open fire.
It's also known for its spectacular interiors, designed to look like you could be in Mykonos.
Also pictured at the dinner were Blues stars Rico Lewis, Matheus Nunes, Savinho, Tijjani Reijnders, Joško Gvardiol and Omar Marmoush.
