Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Pep Guardiola is pushing to keep hold of Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva this summer
Gundogan’s contract at City is due to expire at the end of the campaign and at this stage it is not clear whether he will remain a player for the Blues.
Meanwhile, Bernardo’s deal is set to run until 2025 but he previously stated his intention to begin a “new challenge” in his career.
While Guardiola does not know where either mans’ future lies, he admitted recently that he is unsure whether Bernardo Silva or Gundogan will be at the Etihad Stadium next season.
Both midfield stars have been linked with moves away from the Etihad Stadium in recent seasons, but Pep Guardiola values both very highly and is pushing to keep hold of them.
That’s according to Journalist Pete O’Rourke via Football Insider who claims Man City are desperate to not lose both Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva in one transfer window.
The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.
@mancitybongo: “Good news… we better keep them”
@Aba_Tailor: “We can’t afford to loose both in one transfer window.”
@YakumiSarai: “Losing both of them would be disaster considering their profile now is rare.”
@rmhoek: “Losing them both would be a horrible situation indeed”
@Rodri_Era: “Give Bernardo that new deal”
@xlucosaurrr: “Give them both a very good contract, I don’t understand why we should let them both go, there’s no need….”
@lon_nol101: “Please keep Bernardo at least. He still has a lot to offer. We can replace Ilkay with Mac Allister”
@Ramyaziz24: “This is our club 💪 both players are crucial for pep’s tactical success. Replacement will happen, but both have to stay for at least couple of seasons for Gundo and may be forever for Bernardo! For the good of the team make both stay 🙏”
