Juventus, Inter, Roma and Fiorentina transfer target Micah Richards admits he’s considering a Manchester City exit.
The 25-year-old has repeatedly been linked with a switch to Serie A, but had so far resisted any offer to leave the Etihad Stadium.
Today’s interview with the Sunday Mirror suggests that may no longer be the case.
“My contract is up at the end of next season and, although I’ve already spoken to City and know that they are happy to extend my deal, I’ve told them I want to see how many games I play this season.
“I don't ever want to leave Manchester City, with the way it's going. But it's one of those where I will have to look at my career and say, 'Are you playing enough?'
“Come the end of the season, I'll do that and, hopefully, I'll have played enough. But it's a decision I'll make from January through to the summer when I see where I'm at.
“I've been at City for 11 years, and I don't see myself anywhere else. But you always have in your mind that playing comes first and that's what I'll look at.
“It's nice that the chairman has said City want me to stay, but, if you ask any footballer, the one thing they want most is to play football.
“I could sign a contract tomorrow and it would make me very rich, but it's not about money – it's about football.
“It's a tough one. I love Manchester City and, even if I was to leave, which I still don't see happening, I'd love to come back here in the future and work for the club in some capacity.”
