As the summer transfer window approaches, there is much speculation about which clubs will be making moves in order to strengthen their squads ahead of next season. One player who has been linked with a move away from Manchester City is defender Ben Godfrey.
Godfrey has struggled for game time at City this season and has been linked with a move away from the club. According to reports, Manchester United have shown interest in signing him on loan, while other clubs such as Liverpool and Chelsea have also been linked with his signature.
However, it seems that Manchester City may not be willing to let Godfrey leave the club permanently. According to Sky Sports, Manchester City are keen to keep hold of him for the foreseeable future and are considering extending his contract beyond the current one-year deal he has until 2026.
The news comes after Manchester City recently announced that they would not be renewing contracts with players over the age of 30, including Godfrey. This could mean that Manchester City will need to look elsewhere for replacements for their defensive midfielders, such as Fernandinho and Rodri, if they want to keep up with their rivals in the Premier League.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Godfrey has continued to perform well for Manchester City and has helped them to maintain their position in the top four of the Premier League table. He has played in all but three of Manchester City's league games this season and has been instrumental in their recent run of form.
It remains to be seen whether Manchester City will choose to extend Godfrey's contract or look elsewhere for reinforcements. However, one thing is certain - Manchester City will be looking to continue their impressive run of form in the Premier League next season and will be hoping that Godfrey can play a key role in achieving that goal.
