Asked about David Silva’s future by UK media, Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola, suggested Spanish international attacker to be able to stay put: “We’d like him to stay, but it’s up to him and Txiki to decide. He’s a special player, whom I like a lot. A competitor, a fighter, a winner, he has the quality to keep the ball. He is so important. You have to be so happy because we have him. His reputation is world-wide. He loves to be here because he’s part of the history, like Joe Hart, Vncent Kompany, Yaya Toure and Sergio Aguero. He’s one of the guys who have given this club the important step. They have helped us a lot”.
