Vladimir Weiss is set for talks over his future at Manchester City.
Weiss is to meet with Roberto Mancini to see if he figures in his Manchester City plans.
"I've got three years left on my contract. I'm going to try to stay at City if possible," Weiss told the Manchester Evening News.
"But I need to have a chat with the manager and see how pre-season goes.
"I don't really know what's going to happen at the moment. I've not spoken to the manager yet - I've only just got back to training. We will see what happens."
Mancini has significantly bolstered his attacking options this summer but Weiss is relishing the challenge of trying to push for a place in the team.
"It's great," he said. "I've just got back from the World Cup and I want to play regularly now.
"We'll see how the pre-season goes and then we'll take it from there."

Does that mean he`s been told he`s not getting much and I can`t see them going for Milner
Craig B wrote:How can Spurs hi-jack the Milner deal when everyone knows they have a tight wage structure and probably won't be able to pay him much more than he's on now? Surely one of the reasons JM wants to come to us is he knows we're gonna pay him 100K+ a week.

I reckon so, as it's about the 3rd time he's said it this week in different forms.
Or maybe he's just spotted that we are 5-1 to be champs, and Spuds 35-1, after he said they could win it?
Chinners wrote:MANCINI'S SALE OF CENTURY
...Not all the players on the list will leave and Mancini will try to trim his squad by sending young fringe players such as Vladimir Weiss, Kelvin Etuhu, Greg Cunningham and the talented Michael Johnson out on loan to gain first-team experience.
Brazilian striker Jo, a disastrous £18m signing in the weeks leading up to the Abu Dhabi buyout, is not wanted and City will be lucky to recoup a fraction of their outlay. Ecuadorian striker Felipe Caicedo has also been told to find another club.
The expected losses, which could top £40m, emphasise the club's lack of awareness in the transfer market during the first 18 months of the takeover.
