After the news about a possible departure of Kevin de Bruyne to Saudi Arabia, the coach of Manchester City, Pep Guardiola, has commented on the situation. The Spanish technician has reassured the "citizens" fans by saying that the midfielder will not leave the Etihad, at least for the next season.
De Bruyne has 1 year left on his active contract with Manchester City, and there is still no information if the player is in talks with the club about a possible renewal. Last month, the talented midfielder confirmed to the media that in case of an offer from Saudi Arabia, he should consider it, taking into account his age as well as the extraordinary financial benefits. However, it seems that Guardiola is not worried about this. Pep said to the media recently:
"Kevin will not leave... If someone decides to leave we will have to talk about it, but of course, until the end of the market there are always options. I don't rule out the possibility of new players approaching, but I think there is an 85, 90, 95% chance that we will play with the same team."
We remind you that Manchester City will play against Chelsea in the first challenge of the season in the Premier League. De Bruyne lifted his fourth consecutive Premier League title last season, once again confirming himself as one of the best in the Premier League. The player has won the prestigious trophy 6 times in total.
Meanwhile, among other players who could potentially leave City this summer is goalkeeper Ederson. The Brazilian has also been rumored for a move to Saudi Arabia, but there is still nothing concrete. In terms of new approaches, City has not yet taken a step in this direction.
