The 31-year-old, who joined Manchester City from Shrewsbury Town in 2006 spent last season on loan at West Ham United.

According to the Sun, the Clarets' boss Sean Dyche is desperate to land a keeper with his two goalkeepers, Nick Pope and Tom Heaton injured.
Pope was said to have suffered a shoulder injury earlier this week and has been ruled out for a number of months.
And signing Hart will be ideal for the Turf Moor outfit who are participating in both domestically and in European competitions next term.
Meanwhile, reports from the club reveal that the deal might be announced this evening in an intriguing move for both parties.

He won the Premier League title twice with the club during his reign as the number one for the Citizens but fell out of favour with Pep Guardiola at the club at his arrival.
The 31-year-old has been sent on loan to Torino and West Ham, but will seal a permanent deal with Burnley this summer.
Surprisingly, he travelled with Man City to take part in their US tour, although he was unable to change the opinion of Guardiola.
Hart had also been linked with Chelsea, Manchester United and Nice - but it would appear Burnley have won the race.
