Geovanni admits his future at Manchester City is in doubt.

"It's been a brilliant year and the fans have really taken me to their hearts," Geovanni told the club's website. "Everywhere I go in Manchester they make me feel welcome and ask for pictures and autographs - they love me and I love them too.

"I would love to stay at the club, but as a professional footballer I have to consider all my options.

"Whether those options are in the UK, the Premier League or elsewhere we'll have to see, but I hope to be able to sort out my future in the next couple of weeks."
