The 28 year old’s contract expires at the end of the season and City are desperate to tie him down to a longer deal soon with several clubs including Liverpool thought to be interested in making a move for the midfielder in the summer.
Although the England international has said that he would love to remain at the Etihad, he wants assurances from Manuel Pellegrini that he will be in the Chilean’s first team plans before committing his future to the club.
“I love it here and would love to stay at Manchester City but first and foremost I am a footballer and want to play football. Hopefully I can play enough games and will be here for the long term,” he said.
“You want to win trophies, and I have been fortunate enough to do that, but I want to do that and ideally play in enough games.
“You have to perform as well, and that is never easy when you are in and out of the team. I want to play as well as I can, and the more you play the more you can show what you can do.”
After starting the first three games of the season on the City bench, Milner has started the Sky Blues last two games against Arsenal and Chelsea.
