Nigel de Jong eyes Man City extension

Manchester City midfielder Nigel De Jong wants to extend his stay at the club, and hopes to wrap up terms on a new contract in the next few weeks. De Jong's current contract at City expires in 2013.

De Jong had been linked with a move away from the Etihad Stadium, but the Dutchman wants to stay put.


“There is no concern about my contract,” de Jong told M.E.N Sport. “It is up to the club now. I have spoken my mind and now it is from the club’s perspective to decide what they want to do with me as a person and a player. 

“Do I want to stay? Is that not obvious? It is a silly question.

“I have been here for three years and I am here to win prizes. We won the FA Cup last season, now we are doing well in the Premier League. For me there is no reason to move on.”
