Pep Guardiola tells Man City what he wants from Ilkay Gundogan contract talks

Pep Guardiola wants to continue working with Ilkay Gundogan beyond this season, but accepts the German's future is out of his hands.

Gundogan scored twice against Leeds in City's 2-1 win but missed a penalty late on to set up a nervy finish as Rodrigo pulled a goal back just a minute after. However, although Guardiola was annoyed that Gundogan took the penalty over regular takers Erling Haaland or Riyad Mahrez, the manager reserved praise for his overall performance.

With the German out of contract in the summer and no decision made yet on whether he will stay beyond his current deal, Guardiola couldn't offer any new update. However, the manager did say he wants to continue working with the first player he signed for the Blues.
