Manchester City veteran Patrick Vieira says he would love to play at least another season at Eastlands.
The French midfielder, who was used sparingly by Roberto Mancini this season, turns 35 next month but feels he is in good enough shape to continue on at the top level.
The former Arsenal captain senses some success on the cards at the City of Manchester Stadium and clearly wants to be a part of it.
"It's really nice because although I don't play that much, I've felt a real connection with the fans, particularly over the last month," he told the club's official website.
"They've really made me feel happy and at Bolton last week it was special because they were singing to me while I warmed up and I really enjoyed it, so I'd like to thank them.
"We are starting to talk about the future only now because the target we had was to qualify for the Champions League and win the FA Cup first, now we have achieved that so I will sit down and discuss things with the club and a decision will be made very soon.
"I really want to stay here because I've loved my time with City and as I said, the fans have been fantastic. I just need to speak to the manager and then with the board and try to find a solution that suits everyone, but if there is a possibility, I would love to stay here."
