Eliaquim Mangala will stay at Manchester City beyond the January transfer window, according to manager Pep Guardiola. The City boss confirmed Mangala will stay for the rest of the season, but he left the door open for the France international to move on next summer.
Guardiola offered words of praise for Mangala's application, while confirming the plan to keep him for the remainder of this season, per Goal's Jack Davies:
"He is our player and he is going to stay here in the winter break. Mangala is a player with a lot of experience who played at a high level in Porto, last season in Valencia and with the national team in France.
