Manchester City are ready to extend the loan of Frank Lampard. The Daily Express says Lampard will spend the whole season at City - earning a whopping £190,000-a-week.
The former England midfielder has already signed an extension option to his current loan deal at the Etihad on a salary that dwarfs the best wages he ever earned at Chelsea.
Lampard's final contract at Stamford Bridge was £151,000-a-week, but he netted a 35 per cent pay rise by agreeing to join new MLS side New York City in the summer.
The American club is owned by Manchester City chief Sheikh Mansour and Lampard had been due to start his career in the States in January.
City and Lampard have already signed an option to extend that loan deal with the Premier League champions until the end of the season.
With Yaya Toure due to fly out for African Nations Cup duty with Ivory Coast, Manuel Pellegrini has decided the club need to take up that option.
It means the 36-year-old will stay in Manchester until May before beginning his MLS career with New York City in the summer.
