The Manchester City bonus “does not deserve” for the winning Club World Cup, says Pep Guardiola
However, even if City raises the Trophy to the Metlife Stadium on July 13, Guardiola hears an overall campaign in which his team was eliminated by the Champions League before the last phase of 16 for the first time since 2013 and is currently fifth in the Premier League – and under a strong pressure to guarantee the qualification for the Elite competition in Europe in the next season – it should not mean an additional reward.
“We don’t deserve a bonus this season,” said Guardiola. “The bonus, if you win, don’t know how much, for the club.
“The managers, the backroom staff, the players, we don’t deserve – not even a clock.”
The Premier League also confirmed Thursday Club of Punta will be able to take advantage of a initial transfer window, This will open between 1 and 10 June, before the tournament, when the in competition clubs will be able to add to their team for the direct elimination phase.
It means that there is uncertainty how long Kevin de Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan will be involved, if not entirely.
Both have citizens who expire on June 30, although the rules have also been modified to allow short -term extensions.
Guardiola says that there have been no developments on the future of De Bruyne.
“It’s a question for the club and Kevin,” he said. “He is a player, so yes (he would like De Bruyne to the United States), but I’m just worried about what happens until the end of the season.”
