Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola on the future of Kevin De Bruyne and whether they could ever replace him ahead of their Premier League clash with Crystal Palace
Etihad Training Campus, Manchester, UK
Transcript
00:00You talked about Kevin De Bruyne being able to monitor his fitness over the next few days,
00:05but I'm just wondering, we obviously saw him play so well the other night,
00:09we all know how important he's been to the team over the last few years really,
00:13so I'm just wondering if there's been any closer resolution about his future at the club?
00:18I don't know, I'm not involved in that.
00:22With him being still so important for the team,
00:25is it difficult to plan long-term knowing whether he'll be here next season or not?
00:30I would like to have a 23-year-old and sign a contract for 10 more years for him,
00:35so this is what I would like, but we'll see.
00:39It doesn't sound easy to sign a 23-year-old that's ever going to replace Kevin De Bruyne, I suppose.
00:44Would that be the most difficult thing, trying to ever replace him if he did?
00:47Yeah, there are players, the impact of the legacy of this club will be eternal,
00:51will be forever, and of course it's not easy, but of course we have, as a club,
00:56we have to find, in the moment it's going to happen, we have to find the best way.
