Juventus currently lead the race to sign the Serbian defender however they will face competition for his signature from Russian club Zenit St. Petersburg.
Kolarov joined City back from Lazio in 2009 for £19m and he has recently revealed his desire to return to Serie A despite Juve manager Antonio Conte dismissing these rumours.
The Serbian has found many Italian clubs keen top sign him such as champions Juventus and Inter, who hope to sign him either this month or this summer.
He may be looking for a move as he has battled for a place in the starting squad against Gael Clichy, and has just 12 months remaining on his existing deal next summer.
It is reported that Zenit are willing to match the wages Manchester City currently offer the 28 year old (which is £107,000 a week) and are also willing to pay £8.4m to land the defender’s signature.
