‘Stay’, ‘One more year please’ – Many fans react as Man City star drops major hint on his future following Pep Guardiola admission

Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has revealed he will soon hold talks with the club over his future as he enters the final year of his contract at the Etihad Stadium.

The German was the hero in last weekend’s final day comeback win against Aston Villa, coming off the bench two score twice and clinch the Premier League title for Pep Guardiola’s side.

Gundogan has found himself on the bench more often that not this season, mainly due to the form of Rodri, Kevin de Bruyne and Bernardo Silva in City’s midfield.

His contract is up at the end of next season and if he does feel that he would like to play more often, City could cash in this summer. He has been linked with a move away, with Some reports even claiming the club had told him he is free to find another club.

The decision is yet to be made, but Gundogan insists he will be sitting down to talk to Manchester City about the situation before too long.

“We will sit down together in due course and exchange our ideas and plans, and then we will see what comes out of it,” Fussball Transfers report him telling Kicker.

“Football-wise, there is certainly still no better address than Manchester City under Pep Guardiola, and I think that will hardly change in the next few years.

“Of course, I would have liked to play a little longer in one or two important games over the last few months. That’s not a secret. I am a player who always wants to play.”

The Gundogan’s comments were shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.

“This will hardly change in the next YEARS” I guess that means Pep really will sign that extension!.”
