Guardiola Coy About the Future de Bruyne

The World Cup club added a potential headache for City, and the Premier League opened additional transfer from June 1 to 10 to allow clubs to strengthen their teams and bind existing players to new offers before the tournament started.

Asked about the future of the Belgian playmaker on Etihad, Guardiola said: “This is between the club and Kevin and his agent.

“In a position where I am, we are just worried about the team and ended the season at the best possible position. We need to think about the best thing for the club with the Fa Cup, the Premier League and the World Cup.”

Guardiola also gave a cautious answer to the question by asking whether the injured midfielder Rodri returned to the club’s World Cup.

He said, “It would be nice if you could play tomorrow, but (that would be) the wrong decision is currently well behaved on the field, but the competition is different. We have to be sure that it is good before it is involved.”

“We take the FA Cup as seriously like Carabao Cup in the past when we beat it four times in a row.”
