Pep Plays Peekaboo With De Bruyne’s Contract Saga!…
Kevin De Bruyne seems to be practicing his disappearing act at Manchester City, with his contract as elusive as a ninja in the night. As the sun sets on this season, nobody knows if there’s a special clause hiding somewhere behind the team’s halftime oranges, ready to extend his stay beyond June! De Bruyne is a dazzling star for City, but, like an aging wizard, his magic seems to be fleeting due to injuries and a not-so-magical 33rd birthday approaching.
Man City is proposing an idea worthy of a sitcom: a two-week cameo contract for the Club World Cup, and then maybe, just maybe, a sequel. Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola is playing coy, expertly dodging the million-dollar question about future plans. It’s like watching a soap opera where the main character is too busy with last season’s ratings to worry about plot twists!
In contrast to past enthusiastic proclamations likening De Bruyne to a City legend, now Pep just shrugs, saying, “He’s a player we have, yeah.” In other news, MLS side San Diego politely declined a blockbuster transfer, citing De Bruyne’s demands are higher than a hot-air balloon at the county fair. With De Bruyne frequenting the bench recently, fans can only wonder if City is auctioning his seat on eBay for a steal!
