The move suggests Roberto Mancini remains confident that City will secure a Champions League spot next season and that he is eager to bring in some players with the experience of playing in Europe's most elite competition.
The 35-year-old is certainly not lacking in knowledge of the competition with 177 Champions League appearances to his name and having become the only player to have won the trophy with three different clubs between 1995 and 2007 (Ajax, Rea Madrid and AC Milan).
But in light of Seedorf's comments after Milan's 2-1 win over Fiorentina, it appears he is holding out for the Serie A side to offer him a contract extension.
"I am hearing a lot of rumours," he said. " But I am awaiting an offer from Milan as there are some concrete offers from the table from Brazil and other clubs. But I will firstly think about the Scudetto before my future."
Another name being linked with a move to Eastlands is Udinese striker Alexis Sanchez who is valued at around £35m.
