James Milner could quit the Premier League if he leaves Manchester City in 2015.

The Telegraph says while City boss Manuel Pellegrini is keen to retain Milner, who has been one of the club's most influential players this season, little progress has been made on contract negotiations which started over three weeks ago.

Milner can depart the Etihad for free next summer with Premier League rivals and long-term admirers Arsenal and Liverpool both viewing him as an ideal recruit.

The midfielder who speaks Spanish fluently has not ruled out a move abroad to widen his football experience. Discreet enquiries over his propensity to leave England have already been made by Roma and Inter Milan.
