When asked about the possibility of the Belgian midfielder's contract extension, Guardiola cleverly avoided it, and affirmed: "That depends on the club and Kevin and his agent. I don't interfere."
Faced with the possibility that De Bruyne could continue to play for Man City in the FIFA Club World Cup and stay at the Etihad Stadium after the summer of 2025, Guardiola simply replied: "He is our player."
Goal reported that De Bruyne wants to settle down and focus on improving his performance in order to attend the 2026 World Cup with Belgium. Mirror said that Man City are ready to offer a new contract for another 12 months, but De Bruyne will have to accept a significant pay cut.
The midfielder currently earns around £375,000 a week. His new deal is likely to see his wages drop to just £150,000 a week.
Meanwhile, Guardiola said the biggest priority right now is to focus on helping Man City finish the season in the best way, with the remaining goals being the FA Cup, Premier League and FIFA Club World Cup.
The Spanish coach also attracted attention when he refused to accept any bonus if Man City won the Club World Cup - a tournament that could bring in up to £97 million for the champion.
"We don't deserve the bonus this season. If we win, it will belong to the club. The coaching staff and players don't deserve it either," Guardiola said frankly.
The FA Cup is currently Man City's only chance of winning a domestic trophy this season. However, "The Citizens" will face a difficult challenge as Bournemouth defeated them in the Premier League earlier in the season.
