Milner seeks playing guarantees from Man City

James Milner is stalling on signing new terms with Manchester City.

The Daily Mail says while negotiations are ongoing Milner, whose contract expires at the end of the season, is understood to not be short of offers.

It is understood that the former Leeds and Newcastle star is looking for assurances that he will get more playing time and is not convinced he can get those at the Etihad Stadium.

This season he has started 11 Premier League games for City - one shy of last season's tally of 12.

With English players at a premium at elite level, the prospect of picking up a domestic international on a free transfer is likely to appeal.
