Manchester City’s midfielder Ilkay Gündogan has extended his contract to one more year as the club and the player agreed to trigger the one-year clause (as per Fabrizio Romano). Despite this, manager Guardiola is unsure about the player’s decision. The statement from the manager means there’s still a chance that the German can leave the side in the summer.
Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gündogan has extended his stay at the Etihad Stadium for one more year after the club and the player agreed to trigger a one-year clause in his contract, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Despite the extension, City manager Pep Guardiola has cast a doubt over the German international’s long-term future at the club. “Gündo has one more year now, definitely… what’s going to happen in summer, I don’t know,” Guardiola said, indicating that the door remains open for a possible summer exit.
Gündogan, a key figure in City’s recent successes, has attracted interest from several top European clubs. While the contract extension offers temporary clarity, Guardiola’s comments suggest the situation remains fluid heading into the summer transfer window.
