When Kevin De Bruyne shines, Pep Guardiola says he is “the happiest man on this planet”. However, the Manchester City manager cannot confirm whether the midfielder will remain at the club after his contract expires at the end of the season.
De Bruyne played a key role in City’s 3-1 home win over Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup fifth round, setting up Nico O’Reilly’s equaliser and scoring the final goal. Guardiola praised De Bruyne, calling him one of the best players in the club’s history.
Since joining City in 2015, De Bruyne has achieved great success, winning multiple trophies. Despite signing a contract extension in 2021, his future at the club remains uncertain.
Guardiola emphasized that De Bruyne’s performance until the end of the season will determine his future with the club. The possibility of De Bruyne leaving for the Saudi Pro League was also mentioned.
City’s strong FA Cup record was defended by Guardiola, pointing out that they have reached the semi-finals for seven consecutive seasons. The draw for the quarter-finals will take place after Manchester United’s match against Fulham.
