Bulgarian winger Martin Petrov has stated that he wants to leave Manchester City before the start of the Premier League season.

Petrov told local media sources that he wants to quit Manchester City this summer in order to secure first-team football. He is currently on international duty with Bulgaria ahead of the friendly with Latvia, and spoke to reporters at the national team's training camp.

"I don't see City depending too much on me this year, at least from what I have seen from the pre-season friendlies so far,'' Petrov said. "No footballer is content with polishing the bench and I am no exception,'' ESPN soccernet reported.

Petrov now plans to have talks with City boss Mark Hughes on his return from international duty. He concluded that many top clubs have already shown an interest in him.

Petrov became a star for City under Sven-Goran Eriksson after joining from Atletico Madrid in 2007, but a serious knee injury suffered on international duty at the start of last season left him with little opportunity to impress Hughes, who used Robinho in midfield last season and has since added Gareth Barry.
