Manuel Pellegrini hopeful over James Milner contract extension

Manuel Pellegrini 'thinks' that James Milner will join teammate Joe Hart in agreeing a new deal at Manchester City in the coming weeks.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini remains confident that midfielder James Milner will join Joe Hart in extending his current deal at the club.

Hart put pen to paper earlier today to extend his stay at the Etihad Stadium until 2019, becoming the sixth player to agree new terms this year.

However, fellow England international Milner has yet reach an agreement with the Citizens, with discussions still ongoing.

When asked if he believes that the former Aston Villa star will commit to the club, Pellegrini remained relaxed by telling reporters: "I think so. There are some differences that can be arranged. We are talking with James.

"It is not easy for all the players to sign a new contract. There are a lot of things to talk, to decide, discuss. I hope finally James will sign his contract. The same as with Joe Hart - he wants to stay and the club wants to keep him."

Milner is in the final year of his contract and can therefore begin speaking to other sides in the New Year should he wish.
