The German midfielder has been one of Pep Guardiola’s star performers in recent years, helping them to the title.
He is wanted by a number of top clubs across Europe, including Ajax as part of a possible move for Frenkie De Jong.
But Gundogan wants to stay at the Etihad, and expects to be offered fresh terms after the busy Christmas period is over.
The 28-year-old earns around £90,000-a-week with two-years left, and it is understood he will be handed a pay increase.
A City source said: “Ilkay expects to be given and will sign a new contract. There is interest elsewhere but he is happy here.
“There’s a busy period coming up so it will all happen after that. Ilkay doesn’t expect much to change and he loves it here.”
Gundogan joined City from Borussia Dortmund for £20m in June 2016, and has made 46 appearances for the club.
He has also helped them win the Premier League, EFL Cup and Community Shield, despite suffering a horror knee injury.
