Pep Guardiola reacts to Kevin De Bruyne’s contract refusal

As per some reports on Monday, Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne rejected the club’s proposal for contract renewal. The talks were going on since late last year between the Belgian midfielder and the club for renewing contracts between two parties.

But the latest proposal failed to satisfy the Belgian midfielder as he thinks that his performance for the club doesn’t reflect in the pay packet in the new contract. So, he refused to sign the proposal. But both the parties have possessed a strong intention to reach an agreement.

Though Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is not worried about this. He said, “I’m pretty sure he will stay but at the same time we have to respect the process. I don’t know what’s going on because I didn’t speak with Txiki [Begiristain, sporting director] but he knows how we appreciate him not just as a football player but as a person and how important he is at the club.”

“I’m not worried but in the end of course it is his decision. Hopefully, it’s going to finish well.”- he added.

Kevin De Bruyne joined Manchester City in 2015 from VfL Wolfsburg. This is his 6^th season for Manchester City. In 240 games for the club, he has scored 60 goals. He was a key part of Manchester City’s success recently. He won the PFA Player of the Year award in the 2019-20 season. Manchester City will surely do not want to let go of the Belgian easily.
