Pep Guardiola has dismissed rumors that Kevin De Bruyne could leave Manchester City for Saudi Arabia this season. Despite speculation about interest from Al-Ittihad, Guardiola firmly stated, “Kevin isn’t leaving,” ahead of City’s friendly against Celtic.
De Bruyne, who has just one year left on his contract, hinted at a potential move due to family considerations and the financial benefits of playing in Saudi Arabia. However, Guardiola remains resolute about keeping the Belgian playmaker, who has been instrumental in City’s recent successes, including their fourth consecutive Premier League title.
While City might not make significant changes before the season opener against Chelsea, Guardiola hasn’t ruled out new signings or departures. He indicated that the squad could remain largely unchanged but is open to adjustments based on final offers and decisions.
