Manchester City have been in poor form of late, with the gloom of five consecutive defeats hanging over the team, however, the kingly return of Belgian international Kevin De Bruyne has been like a spring breeze, injecting the team with a shot in the arm. His return after a two-month injury layoff is highly anticipated and his future contract will come to an end next year. In the face of rumors of a contract extension, De Bruyne chose to remain silent, saying only that he will be fully focused on regaining his competitive status. Meanwhile, manager Pep Guardiola revealed that De Bruyne's decision to stay or go will be his own.
The 33-year-old Yundi Buni's return to the field of play, the subject of contract renewal has once again sparked heated debate. When asked, the Belgian star said: "I don't really know. During the injury period, I put everything behind me and just wanted to get back to my best form as soon as possible. Whether I renew my contract or not, this season could be my swan song at Manchester City. Frankly speaking, other people's opinions do not have much influence on me, I just focus on playing the best soccer."
For his part, City leader Gordiona said, "I don't know anything about the specifics of the contract extension. What I can say is that everything will follow the team system. The question of whether Yundi Buni stays or goes is ultimately up to him. Just like Schwarz and other players before him, he wants to end his career at City in the best possible shape."
