Manchester City are confident securing James Milner to a new deal.
The Daily Mail says Milner has not rushed signing a new deal as he looks for reassurances over the amount of first-team football he will play under Manuel Pellegrini.
The delay in signing a new deal has given Brendan Rodgers hope that Milner could be tempted to move to Liverpool.
But it appears the 29-year-old will remain at the Etihad beyond their 2014-15 campaign.
