Kolarov to be offered new deal?

City keen to extend Serbian defender's contract

City are poised to hand Kolarov a surprise lifeline and offer him a new deal to stay at the Etihad.

The Serbian left-back, 28, appeared to be heading for the exit and has 12 months remaining on his current £90,000 a week deal going into this summer.

A number of clubs,including Mancini’s Galatasaray, are keen to do business at a reduced £8m.

Italian giants Roma and Inter Milan have also expressed an interest.

City, however, want to sit down with Kolarov before the season is out and discuss a potential new two-year extension.
