Should we offer him an extension beyond 2023?

He has been,but he can be replaced.

He would struggle next season as the signs were evident in his last few games where he has looked like he has been running in treacle for much of his time.Knowing when to replace is vital,and the time is right.

We have made that mistake with not finding Dinho's and previously Aguero's.
 
Why is this being treated as a fact? Looks like a standard rumour to me until he or City say otherwise unless I've missed something.

Can't see the benefit of letting him go this summer, we're already a man light in midfield, Fernandinho needs replacing too, gundogan going would leave us with 3 midfielders in total, foden is the only player in our squad even remotely close to being trusted in the middle and he's still a bit away in my eyes.

Bringing in 2 midfielders minimum who will need 12 months to settle puts a lot of strain on our current three, one of which generally has several injuries a season in kdb and another in Bernardo isn't even guaranteed to be staying yet himself.

Would be a huge loss, nobody else gives us the tempo and control in the game like him. Unless we can get a seriously good fee for him it would make far more sense to get a final year out of him giving us time to integrate dinho's replacement into midfield and get foden ready which then gives his eventual replacement more leeway to settle the season after.
 
Fantastic player for us and a great professional.
This looks like the club doing the right thing for him, he's clever enough to realise that there's a refresh happening and he'll probably play less next year.
Doing it this way gives him a great opportunity to get a good contract in Spain or Italy to play out the last few seasons of his career. A better climate and less physical league will be better for him with his back issues.
One of my favourite players ever, never gave less than 100%.
Would love to see him back as a coach in the future, superb football brain in there I reckon.
 
I didn’t like what he brought initially but it became apparent he was doing exactly what Pep was asking of him.

I always felt he didn’t get the club but boy did that change. Remember he held on until the last minute to extend, but once he did it was as if a switch went off and he became one of the most committed servants we’ve had. He embraced Manchester, the fans and the club fully and it came across in his performances.
 
Surprised and saddened to read this.

If it turns out to be true, he deserves a huge send-off this weekend, just like Fern. A really clever player and a very important one for us on many occasions. Always seems like a top bloke behind the scenes, too, and I couldn't have been happier when he silenced the critics with that incredible goal-scoring run last year. He's put in some phenomenal performances over the seasons and I'm sure Pep will be sad to lose him.
 
If true then this is a big shame, but like others have said the timing feels right. He’s never been blessed with pace but this season he looks to have lost another half a yard. One of the most intelligent players we’ve had the privilege of watching in the blue shirt and has been a fantastic servant. In another side he’d probably have got the credit he deserves. Also like the way he immersed himself into the club and Manchester in general, and seems really down to earth.
