Brazilian midfielder Ze Roberto claims Manchester City are "top of the list" of possible destinations after he was offered only a one-year contract extension by Bayern Munich.
The 34-year-old's current deal in Bavaria expires at the end of the month and he had been hoping to receive a longer commitment from the Bundesliga club than the 12 months on the table.
He has, therefore, turned his attention to other options and appears keen on a move to Eastlands.
"(My future) will be decided in the next few days," he told German newspaper tz.
"Manchester City's interest is right at the top of the list. They want to get into Europe and I am wanted to help them (get there).
"There are also two Bundesliga sides interested in me. One of them is even offering me a three-year contract. There is also a club from Saudi Arabia and some US clubs interested."

Why any top player would go to City is beyond me. they got 1 greedy world class player who is unhappy there because City are a mid table team bound for the Europa league season after season. It will take a manager with CL experience and a solid pedigree to be able to persuade world class players to go there and believe City will be a major force in the future. Mark Hughes isn't that man I'm afraid City fans.
underachiever perfect for man city.honestle perhaps lyon may be interested .come on city buy quality.
Too old and not the right calibre
Caps Lock off please, it's really irritating.
Looks like you have a good point, but it's really hard to read with the shouting
SOUNDS LIKE A FREELOADER WANTING TO END HIS CAREER AND BE PAID TOP MONEY WHICH HE CANT GET WHERE HE IS AT THE MOMENT. WE ALREADY HAVE YOUNGER, BETTER PLAYERS. I THINK MARK WILL HAVE HIS SENSIBLE HEAD ON AND NOT PERSUE ZE ROBERTO'S DREAMS!!! CITY 'TILL I DIE
