Frank Lampard could extend his loan with Manchester City beyond January. The Daily Mail says Lampard will be able to extend his stay at Manchester City further into 2015 if his parent club New York City FC decide to hold a pre-season training camp in England.
It is understood one possibility that could help satisfy both clubs is New York City using the English club's new Etihad Campus training facility as a base for their own pre-season training camp in January or February.
Recently opened, the theory is that City's new £200m facility could host NYCFC for training and accommodation while the MLS team play two or three friendly games against local lower league opposition in the North West.
This would enable Lampard to meet and spend time with his new team-mates while continuing to play for City as the NYCFC players went through stages of pre-season fitness work that he wouldn't need.
