The football news portal Goal.com wrote that "Manchester City" offered a new contract to Jesus Navas. Current winger's contract with the "citizens" will expire this summer, and he has long been linked to a return to the "Sevilla" club. However, coach Pep Guardiola was impressed by his performances in the right-back role, so he decided that the Spaniard would still be useful for the team. "I am really impressed by his performances as a right-back," Guardiola said earlier. "He is a guy who can move both forward and backward, but he is not just a fast player. Jesus has that quality - usually fast footballers can travel forward and backward four times." "He can do it many times, look at the balls he saved. We cannot forget that he played against Hazard, he played against Alexis (Sanchez - ed.) and was excellent." "Now he will be able to play again and again because he convinced me that he can do it at a high level." These news are not particularly encouraging for right-backs Bacary Sagna and Pablo Zabaleta either, who will most likely not be offered new contracts.
