Rodri sets Man City challenge as Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva give transfer updates

Here are your latest Manchester City headlines for Sunday, 11 June.

Gundogan and Bernardo on their City futures

Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva have both given updates on their Manchester City futures after potentially playing their final games for the club.

Gundogan, 32, is out of contract at City at the end of the month, with no agreement reached on his future. Recent reports suggest that Gundogan and City are closer to a new deal, although the player's agent is said to have distanced Gundogan from those reports.

Bernardo is another player with an uncertain future. While he remains under contract, he has sought to leave City in the past to return closer to home, and has been linked with a summer exit to make that happen this season.

Rodri sends Man City message to Champions League rivals

Rodri has fired a warning to the rest of Europe after telling Manchester City’s Champions League rivals that their first European crown is just the start.

The Spaniard was the match-winner in the Ataturk Stadium, cooly slotting in the only goal of the game against Inter Milan, and as City survived a late barrage from the Serie A side by hook or by crook, he began to feel it was written in the stars that this would finally be their year.

City have found it difficult to conquer Europe and since arriving at the Etihad, Rodri has experienced a defeat in the final against Chelsea two years ago, last season’s incredible collapse from a winning position against Real Madrid in the semi-final and a meek surrender against Lyon in 2020.

But in Istanbul City rode their luck to finally lift their trophy and with the monkey now off their back, Rodri believes they could go on to dominate Europe in the same way as they have the Premier League.
