The Belgian international announced that this season in City would be his last and that he would come to the end of his adventure this summer, which did not completely like. Some supporters hoped that his recent improvement in his performance, including the victorious goal against the Wolves on Friday, would change the club changes. And if manager Guardiola praised the merits of the 33 -year -old player, it seems that a new contract is not in sight.
He said about Bruyne on Sky Sports:
“A big thank you. His contribution against Crystal Palace, when we were led 2-0, and he still marked today. I am happy that it ends like this, and we have a match at Etihad. »»
Kevin de Bruyne, the unexpected scenario
To the question of whether his contract could be extended, he replied: “ I wish the best for Kevin, so it is impossible to spend all these years without him. He's an incredible player, but the situation is what she is. It is almost impossible to replace a player of this kind. It is not only his performance that counts, it is what he has been for our supporters for many years. Our success belongs to our players. ”
De Bruyne will be remembered as the greatest player in the history of City and will be among the eleven best in the history of the Premier League thanks to his course in City over the past ten years. But time is running out, the former Chelsea player being increasingly injured, and his regularity is probably no more what it was. His salary is colossal, which implies a separation, but there may well be a last boost this season via the FA Cup.
De Bruyne's next match against City could take place next Saturday in the Premier League, against Southampton, already relegated.
