"It could happen": Guardiola hopes De Bruyne extends his contract with Man City
Manchester City recently took a significant step by extending Erling Haaland's contract until 2034. Manager Pep Guardiola hopes this will set an example for other key players in the squad.
Details: The Spanish coach expressed that midfielder Kevin De Bruyne also has all the attributes needed to extend his contract with the club, citing both his physical and mental capabilities to perform at the highest level.
Quote: "Of course, it could happen. Kevin is in his best physical shape. He knows it. He says he feels better. He’s battled a lot over the past five years and has made a huge effort this season, even playing when he wasn’t at his best.
No player, not even younger ones, can play without issues. But some problems are harder to overcome than others. Kevin has fought hard and shown incredible work ethic. I’ve seen him work so well to come back and be at his best. And, of course, he has that special quality that has no equal in the world," said Guardiola.
