Sun Jihai is expecting to leave Manchester City
after admitting he has not heard about a new contract.
The Chinese defender's deal expires at the end of next month
and, as yet, he has not been offered an extension.
The 30-year-old is currently on City's end-of-season tour of the
Far East and was captain in Thursday's friendly defeat to a South
China Invitational XI.
Speaking to reporters after the match, Jihai suggested his
future lay away from the City of Manchester Stadium.
"If I haven't heard official word at this stage, it means my
agent has to look for my next club," he said.
"You know, that's football."
He has received offers from Premier League and Championship
clubs, and has also been offered a return to China, but had been
hoping to stay at City.
Jihai joined City in 2002 and has gone on to make over 150
appearances for the club, with his final competitive outing coming
in the 8-1 defeat at Middlesbrough on the final day of the
season.
