Richards is set to leave Manchester City on a free in the summer having rejected a new long-term contract.

And the right-back, currently on loan at Fiorentina, is reportedly keen on a move back to England.

The Mail report Richards is wanted by the three English clubs as well as Inter Milan - where Roberto Mancini is manager - and Borussia Dortmund.

However they claim the 26-year-old would prefer to return to England.

Micah Richards wants a Premier League move

Richards made his City debut in 2005 and was expected to go on and become England's first choice right back.

However ten years on and he's only been capped 13 times, despite making his international debut in 2006, with his last appearance coming under Stuart Pearce in 2012.

Richards joined Fiorentina on loan at the start of the season in a bid to resurrect his career after being frozen out at City due to the form of Pablo Zabaleta and his own injury problems.

City also signed Bacary Sagna from Arsenal to increase competition.

Richards, though, has only started three Serie A games for Vicenzo Montella's side.
