Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has admitted that Ilkay Gundogan could leave the club.
However, Guardiola is hopeful that the midfielder would decide to stay following his man-of-the-match performance in the FA Cup final.
Gundogan scored twice against Manchester United at Wembley to earn City a 2-1 win.
His contract with the Premier League champions is set to expire in the summer.
“He knows what I think. Maybe some of you know it, we are neighbours, we live on the same floor so for many years he has been a close friend of mine.
“He plays exceptional. Hopefully, we can finish in a good way. [Director of football] Txiki [Begiristain] is working [on the contract]. The season he has done is exceptional,” Guardiola said.
