Pep Guardiola has confirmed in a virtual press conference that Leroy Sané has refused to renew his contract, which expires next season, and therefore will come out this summer or the next, depending on whether they reach an agreement with another club .
Sané's contractual situation. Leroy has said he does not want to extend his contract from next season. If at the end of this season we agree with another club to leave, it will leave. If not, he will leave when his contract ends next year. The club has offered him renewal two or three times but has rejected. When we make an offer to a player it is because we want it. We have tried before and after his injury, but he has other illusions. We want players who want to play here. He is an incredible boy, I love him very much, I have nothing against him, but he has decided that he wants another adventure in his career.
Sané's return to the call. He's training without pain and that's a good sign.
Eric García's injury. When it is a blow to the head, the protocol says to go a week or 10 days without playing. We saw him yesterday and he has some wounds on his face, but he has already left the hospital and feels fine.
Fight for European positions. It is very important that we get the points in the first two games to qualify for the Champions League, because the Premier League is already for Liverpool. We have a 15 point advantage over the fifth.
Stones omitted on the bench. He had a little ankle problem and is in his last stage of recovery, he was not available.
Withdrawal of Claudio Pizarro. I always told him that I would have loved training him with 24 or 25. He is one of the best finishers I have ever seen. It had similar qualities to Benzema's.
