Josko Gvardiol headlines the list of players Man City want to stay at the Etihad long-term, as doubts over his future continue to circle.
Real Madrid have targeted Gvardiol as a possible improvement to their defence following Jose Mourinho's return; however, City continue to hold talks over a new contract.
The Croatian's current deal expires in June 2028 after signing a five-year contract upon his arrival in 2023. But sporting director Hugo Viana is expected to agree terms with the 24-year-old before the start of the new season, according to Sportske Novosti, extending his stay in Manchester until at least 2032.
Gvardiol has been a crucial player for the Cityzens since joining three years ago, becoming arguably one of the Premier League's best defenders.
Last season was an indifferent one for him, though, as a broken leg in January meant he missed the majority of the campaign, and appeared just 25 times in all competitions.
On his day, City know he's a guaranteed starter - either as a left-back or in central defence - and securing a new deal would be a great piece of business.
