"I want to be honest with the club, with myself, with everyone.

“If I decide that it is time to move on, I will move on. A few clubs were interested to sign me in the summer.”

The Argentine ace joined City from Spanish club Espanyol back in 2008. He could land a long-term deal elsewhere, with Inter Milan interested.

Zabaleta added: “I said to Pep Guardiola, when we sat down face to face, that last season  I was struggling with injuries and I couldn’t reach my top  performance.

“But I have been available to play every single game this season, and I’m not injured at all.”

Meanwhile, Zabaleta City’s players will rally round under-fire keeper Claudio Bravo.

The Chilean endured another miserable night even though his team breezed to a 5-1 FA Cup win over Huddersfield on Wednesday night.

Said Zabaleta: "We know Claudio, it's difficult when you come to England — it’s a different league.

"We are a team, we support each other. We know exactly what he can do for the team.

"We know how good he is and sometimes it is just about confidence.

"His distribution with the ball has been really good against Huddersfield."
