Manchester City Evaluates Kevin De Bruyne's Future as Contract Nears Expiry

Pep Guardiola cites age, performance, and injuries as key factors in deciding the midfielder's potential extension.

Kevin De Bruyne's contract with Manchester City expires in June, and the club has yet to begin extension talks.
Pep Guardiola emphasized that De Bruyne's age, recent injury record, and performances will influence the club's decision.
The 33-year-old midfielder has struggled with consistency, making only eight Premier League starts this season after returning from a hamstring injury in November.
De Bruyne is reportedly allowed to negotiate with non-English clubs for a potential free transfer, with links to the Saudi Pro League and MLS side San Diego FC emerging.
Manchester City, currently sixth in the Premier League, faces challenges in bolstering their squad during the January transfer window, with Guardiola stressing the importance of long-term planning over short-term fixes.
