Pep Guardiola has highlighted the uncertainty surrounding Kevin De Bruyne’s future at Manchester City as the influential midfielder approaches the end of his contract. After a decade at the club, De Bruyne’s injury struggles and recent fitness issues have led Guardiola to emphasize the need for the club to evaluate his form and consistency before considering a contract extension.
The 33-year-old has scored two goals and provided two assists this season, but Guardiola acknowledged that his performances in the remaining months of the season will be critical. Guardiola stated, “When he’s consistent and fit, he’s a really important and decisive player for us.” However, factors such as his age and recent injury record will play a role in the club’s decision.
This comes at a time when Manchester City appears to have regained momentum, ending a difficult period of one win in 13 games. The situation underscores the balance between loyalty to a long-serving player and the club’s long-term strategy as City navigates its future plans.
