The 29-year old England international has been with the club since 2010, after signing for £26 million from Aston Villa, is said to be keeping his options open.
However, there is interest from both Arsenal and Liverpool, with both keen to sign the Yorkshire man.
With Liverpool looking for to replace Steven Gerrard who is leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, and Arsenal are looking at Milner as a strong and versatile attacking player to add to their squad.
Should his contract expire at the end of the season, he will be able to sign to any club as a free transfer. It has been said that Milner doesn’t want to sign a contract extension, to find that he doesn’t have a regular starting place with Manchester City.
Milner has made 33 appearances in all competitions for the club, more than goalkeeper Joe Hart.
