The most important footballer in the last decade for Manchester City is probably Kevin De Bruyne, who since the arrival of Guardiola has been essential for the English team’s successes. However, he is in the last year of his contract and there is still no news about his renewal. The Catalan coach has already signed an extension and, although that seemed to clarify Kevin’s future, he did not want to give clues about what he will do next summer.

De Bruyne appeared at a press conference before the Champions League match against Feyenoord and, as expected, many questions were directed at continuity in the team. However, the footballer has avoided speaking out, ensuring that “he is not worried” and that “he just wants to play.”

As for whether there have been conversations, he hasn’t been very brief in his response either: “I’m not very obsessed with things right now. I know people will ask me questions about this, but there’s not much I can say, there haven’t been many conversations, So I’m fine, I’m happy, I just want to play good football again and we’ll see about the future.”

Despite the insistence of journalists, he has continued without giving any clues: “I’m not in a hurry, so I don’t feel uncomfortable in my situation. There will be conversations and, if not, it will be my last year in Manchester. I’m not worried.”

You won’t be here when you think you can’t produce like you have for the last decade.

Even Guardiola has spoken about it, ensuring that it will depend on De Bruyne himself: “Just like Silva or many other cases, the decision will be made by him. I am quite sure that he will be sincere. He wants to end here, or this season, or next, at his best. He won’t be here when he thinks he can’t produce like he has for the last decade.”

At 33 years old, he faces his last years in the elite and, although his future is not resolved, he looks good on the field of play: “When I came back from the injury I felt that I could still make a difference in this team and “As long as I feel that, it’s a good indicator that I can continue at this level.”

An injury in the middle of the crisis

Kevin has been injured for several weeks this season and that is why he has had to see his team’s poor results from the outside, with the exception of last weekend’s defeat, in which he was able to reappear. Despite the result, the player was happy to be back: “I’m starting to feel better, so I’m happy about that. It’s been a frustrating moment.”

There have been injured people who have played anyway

It is a situation that has not only affected the Belgian, but also more members of the squad. “There have been people playing who shouldn’t have, but who played anyway with an injury,” said De Bruyne.

Regarding the crisis that Manchester City is experiencing, he has followed his coach’s line, appearing quite calm about it, although pointing out a possible cause: “We have become good, creating chances, but the problem is in both areas: conceding goals too easily and not scoring the ones we should be scoring. In addition, he closed the topic by being clear: “I don’t think this team needs many meetings.”
