Manchester City midfielder Jack Byrne is open to a loan move away next season.

Byrne is in new contract talks at City.

"City won't loan a player out just for the sake of it," he told the Irish Independent. "They'll only do it with a club where the player will develop, get games and work to a similar philosophy.

"Of course, I'd love to go on loan but I'll discuss it with the club when the time is right."
