Reports are out claiming that Manchester City are battling to keep hold of coach Patrick Vieira.
It is said that the French icon is set for talks over his City future which are expected to lead to the offer of a new contract.
Vieira, 39, was linked with the Sunderland job before the appointment of Sam Allardyce.
The Frenchman has also been touted for a return to Arsenal to become part of Arsene Wenger’s staff – and suggested as the next boss of his current club’s US side New York City.
