Sergio Gómez wants to STAY and fight for his place at Man City with aspirations to try to impress Pep Guardiola during pre-season.
The 22-year-old left-back joined Manchester City on a four-year deal from Belgian side Anderlecht last summer.
Gomez played a bit part role in the Cityzens’ recently concluded season, making 23 outings in all competitions.
His lack of regular starts at City and the experience he has of playing under Kompany at Anderlecht have seen him linked with Burnley, who are in the transfer market for a left-back.
However, Gomez would prefer to stay with his current club and try to impress Pep Guardiola in pre-season to get into his plan for the upcoming campaign.
Spanish newspaper AS today feature an interview with Manchester City left-back Sergio Gomez, who’s currently with the U-21 national team squad.
“I haven’t talked to him about the next season, but I want to stay there,” Gomez told AS when asked about what Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola told him before the summer break.
“I’m going to go from the first day of the preseason with a lot of desire to show him that I can have more minutes.”
Asked if an exit from Manchester City is planned, the player clarified his situation again.
“The idea is to stay there. It is my wish.”
Gomez was even asked if after winning a Champions League title, his national teammates started treating him with more respect, but he claims he never wanted that.
“(Laughs) No, luckily they keep pranking me. I am also a joker and I like that game.”
The Manchester City fullback is part of Spain’s squad which will be playing at the U-21 Euros this month. Their first game in the tournament is on Wednesday, when they face Romania in the group stage.
