Gareth Barry admits that he will hold talks with Manchester City in two weeks' time over signing a new contract at the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry has revealed that he wants to stay with the former Premier League champions.

The ex-Aston Villa player, who is about to enter the final year of his contract, has claimed that he will hold talks with the club when they announce the identity of their new manager in the next 10 to 14 days.

"It will be a case of the new manager coming in and having a chat with the people upstairs, and discussing it," Sky Sports News quotes Barry as saying. "I'm hoping we can have a meeting pretty soon. I would love to stay.

"I'm 32 but I feel pretty fit and I'm on the back of a good season, so hopefully the club will have seen that. A one-year extension seems to be the way football has been going, so if that is what is being offered, I will definitely think about accepting it. But we will have to wait and see."

Barry made 41 appearances for City over the course of the season.
