Man City fans to fear the worst after what ‘world-class’ star just said about his future
Man City supporters will be extremely concerned about the future of one of their biggest stars after their recent admission in a press conference.
Gianluigi Donnarumma is likely to be Man City’s goalkeeper for the next few years, having arrived during the summer at just 26 years of age, fighting for the starting spot with James Trafford.
Pep Guardiola is under pressure to get the club’s season back on track, with City’s 2024-25 campaign ending in a huge wreck before starting the new season with two defeats in the first three games.
After the Citizens put five goals past Burnley, and Erling Haaland eventually got his expected goals, Guardiola’s side moved to seventh in the Premier League table, but fans are already concerned for the season ahead.
Now, thanks to one of their most important players, who Dion Dublin dubbed “world-class” in 2021 [BBC Sport], many will already be concerned heading into next summer.
Bernardo Silva admits he already has a plan for his future
Bernardo Silva‘s current contract expires in less than 12 months, and based on previous transfer windows, there will not be a shortage of interest in the Portugal international’s signature.
Speaking in a pre-Monaco press conference, Bernardo touched on his future ahead of his contract running out next summer, saying, “I know exactly what I’m going to do, but it’s not the time to talk about it.
“It’s time to focus on Man City, to try my best to put the club back where it belongs,” but this could be the 31-year-old’s final season with the Citizens after originally arriving in 2017.
Kevin De Bruyne joined Napoli on a free transfer during the most recent summer window, with Kyle Walker signing for Burnley, and this could be another passing-of-the-torch moment for the Citizens.
Man City begin handing out new contracts ahead of next summer
Rico Lewis and Nico O’Reilly have both signed new deals, securing their future at the Etihad, and Man City also want to secure a new deal with John Stones despite his injury problems.
Ruben Dias has also put pen to paper on a new contract, which is a huge relief given some of the recent issues in defence, but there are several stars’ futures which need addressing soon.
Phil Foden is another key one, with his contract expiring in the summer of 2027, and fans would be extremely disappointed to see one of their most successful academy graduates depart.
Bernardo has been an incredible servant for the club, but after being heavily sought after by Barcelona in recent transfer windows, it would not be a surprise to see his head turned.
