Manchester City is considering a move for unsettled Werder Bremen goalkeeper Tim Wiese.
The German international has admitted he would like to play in a foreign league when his contract expires next year with the German league club.
City signed Costel Pantilimon from FC Timisoara for an undisclosed fee in the summer, but Roberto Mancini is keen on recruiting another 'keeper to aid City's bid to challenge on all fronts this season.
Weise, who has made five appearances for Germany, is out of contract with Bremen after next June's Euro 2012 tournament to be hosted by Poland and the Ukraine with the final being held in Kiev on July 1.
The 29-year-old is seeking a contract extension at Werder or a main move abroad, with the Citizens mulling over a cut-price £1m bid for his services in January.
"Next year, I will be on a free transfer and so there are lots of possibilities," Wiese told German magazine Kicker.
"I'm only 29 years old and another league would appeal to me if things don't work out at Werder."
Werder are currently second in the Bundesliga having won four of their first five games and Wiese says things are going well in Bremen after last season's flirt with relegation.
"Things are going well because we are successful and having fun," he said.
"We are playing football together again, it's as simple as that."
