AC Milan and Roma keeping tabs on Man City defender

The Argentinian defender has just signed a new four-year contract with City, but the Italian sides believe they may be able to lure him away from the club.

Zabaleta has not been a regular in Roberto Mancini’s side, but the defender insists he has no plans to leave the Etihad in the January transfer window.

He said: “At the moment I think only of Manchester City, having renewed my contract.”
