Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini hopes to have good news over James Milner this week.
Pellegrini is confident Milner will sign a new deal at the Etihad in the next few days.
The England international, 29, will become a free agent at the end of this season but has been holding talks with the club over a new and improved contract.
Pellegrini said: "I hope that James will stay here and he will sign his contract in the next few days."
