Vincent Kompany insists the sale of Carlos Tevez would not be a blow to Manchester City.
City have accepted a bid from Corinthians for the club captain.
Kompany, who is lined up to be captain if Tevez goes, said: "He's a great player but players come and go. The team is bigger than any player. We'll keep moving forward.
"We've had great players, like Robinho, who have moved on. With them, it's great, but without them, we find a solution."
