Manchester City are open to the possibility of extending Frank Lampard's
loan deal, but no agreement has been struck with New York City FC yet.
Lampard, 36, joined the Premier League champions until January from
NYC FC, however, their inaugural Major League Soccer campaign does not
begin until March.
That could allow City to keep hold of Chelsea's record goalscorer for
longer, although -- despite reports to the contrary nothing has been finalised.
City manager Manuel Pellegrini told a news conference: "Frank will
stay until January because until January he doesn't have anything to do
in the United States because they are not working. In January, we will
see what happens here and make a decision."
City are set to lose one central midfielder in January when Yaya
Toure is likely to be part of Ivory Coast's squad for the African
Nations Cup, which ends on Feb. 8.
Lampard scored his first City goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against his former club Chelsea and is set to be involved when they host Sheffield Wednesday in the Capital One Cup.
