Kevin De Bruyne has been linked with a move away from Manchester City, and Saudi Arabian clubs are reportedly keen on securing his signature.
According to reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, the links between Kevin De Bruyne and Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad are not true, and no agreement has been reached between the two parties regarding a potential move this summer.
Romano claims that the Saudi Arabian club are working to sign Moussa Diaby from Aston Villa, and they will focus on signing a quality goalkeeper like Ederson Moraes from Manchester City after that.
It seems that De Bruyne is likely to continue at Manchester City beyond this summer. The 33-year-old has been a key player for the Premier League champions since joining them, and he is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world. Manchester City will be hoping to win major trophies consistently, and they need to keep players of his quality to do well.
Kevin De Bruyne must play at an elite level
The 33-year-old is still operating at a world-class level, and he needs to play for the biggest clubs in the world at this stage of his career. He needs to be pushing for the biggest trophies on offer. A move away from Europe would be quite surprising right now. He will have plenty of opportunities to move to Saudi Arabia or the MLS in the near future.
Meanwhile, Manchester City are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world, and they have no reason to sell their best player anytime soon. They will look to keep him at the club for as long as possible. De Bruyne has been integral to Manchester City’s success in recent years and his departure would be a massive blow. The update from Romano will come as a huge boost for the Cityzens.
The 33-year-old will look to focus on his football now and help Manchester City win major trophies in the upcoming seasons as well. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabian clubs have done well to attract top players in recent windows, and it remains to be seen whether they decide to push for De Bruyne in the near future.
