MAN CITY MAKE IVANOVIC ENQUIRY
Manchester City have ‘asked to be kept informed of developments’ in the situation of Branislav Ivanovic, according to the Daily Mail, with Chelsea yet to offer the defender a new contract.Ivanovic’s current deal expires in the summer, leaving him free to talk to overseas clubs this month, with Inter Milan, AC Milan and Zenit Saint Petersburg said to be interested.
However, with Martin Demichelis out of contract in the summer and Vincent Kompany’s fitness a concern, City could offer Ivanovic, 31, the chance to remain in the Premier League.
The Serbia captain would prefer to stay at Chelsea, it is said, but the west Londoners have a policy of only offering one-year contracts to players over the age of 30, which could potentially tempt Ivanovic into a move even if he is offered the chance to remain at Stamford Bridge.
