Manchester City are reportedly preparing to offer a new deal to young starlet Bersant Celina.

The Daily Mail is reporting City have opened talks with Celina's representatives about the 19-year-old signing a new five-and-a-half year deal at the Etihad Stadium.

Celina has broken into City's first team in recent weeks and it is understood club officials are eager to finalise a deal to lock down the Norwegian youth international before the end of the month.

It is understood a number of European clubs, including Scottish giants Celitc had been interested in securing Celina on loan for the remainder of the season.
