Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has reaffirmed hopes of James Milner signing his new contract.
Milner struck again in victory at Stoke City.
Pellegrini said afterwards: "Milner scored a beautiful goal but for us the most important thing is the way he works for 90 minutes.
"To sign a contract, you need both parties. I repeat, the club want Milner to stay here and Milner has to decide what he wants to do with his future."
