The Brazilian midfielder Ze Roberto claims Manchester City are "top of the list" of his possible destinations after he was offered only a one-year contract extension by Bayern Munich.

The 34-year-old's current deal with Bayern expires at the end of the month and he had been hoping to receive a longer commitment from the Bundesliga club.

"[My future] will be decided in the next few days," Ze Roberto said. "Manchester City's interest is right at the top of the list. They want to get into Europe and I am wanted to help them [get there]. There are also two Bundesliga sides interested in me."

Meanwhile, Internazionale are in talks with City over Elano, according to the Brazil midfielder. "There are ongoing negotiations and I hope the Inter directors will go right to the end," he told Gazzetta dello Sport. "I want to wear the Inter shirt."
