“There are three or four positions I think we have to try to look for, and some ideas we have.”Guardiola also revealed the club were still working on the future of Ilkay Gundogan, whose current deal expires in 2020.The 28-year-old has started 14 games in the league this season, but is not an automatic starter with the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva regularly getting picked ahead of him.“If he was 100 per cent then the deal would have been done, so we are still in negotiations,” added the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager. “He is an incredibly important player. He knows what we want, he knows what we think about him, but the last decision is not in our hands.“We try to speak with him, we want him to extend the contract right now. But if he doesn’t want to, we cannot do anything else.”
