Manchester City, Manager, Pep Guardiola, has confirmed that Kevin de Bruyne will not leave the club this summer amid transfer speculation of the Belgian midfield maestro plying his trade for Saudi Pro League.
According to a tweet from Fabrizio Romano on Tuesday, “Pep Guardiola has just confirmed that Kevin de Bruyne will NOT sign for Saudi Pro League this summer. “No, Kevin is NOT leaving,’ Pep says.”
Fake news, as clarified yesterday
Also, according to BBC sport.com, De Bruyne has been heavily linked with a summer move to Saudi Arabia.
He has one-year left on his Blues contract and said last month he would have to consider an offer from the Saudi Pro-League because of the “incredible money” available.
However, Guardiola is unconcerned.
Kevin isn’t leaving,” he told reporters before his side’s opening pre-season game against Celtic in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, on Wednesday (00:30 BST).
De Bruyne helped inspire City to the Premier League title last season, the club’s fourth in a row and his sixth in total at the club.
Crystal Palace’s England Euro 2024 squad member Ebereche Eze has been linked with a move to City, while Brazil goalkeeper Ederson has also been the subject of interest from Saudi Arabia.
But Guardiola feels it is more likely he will have the same squad as last season.
