Manchester City fullback Pablo Zabaleta is urging James Milner to sign his new contract.
Milner has reportedly had reservations because of uncertainty whether he will command a regular starting spot but Zabaleta is keen for him to sign.
The Argentina right-back said: "We know how important James is for this team, for this club. His commitment and his passion have always been fantastic for this club and this team.
"He is a player who can play in different positions. He is a great professional, a fantastic lad. Hopefully he can sign a new deal and stay with us for many years."
