Fabrizio Romano provides Kevin De Bruyne update amid Saudi Pro League rumours

Kevin De Bruyne’s Uncertain Future: What’s Next for the Manchester City Midfielder?

As the summer transfer window continues to simmer, one of the biggest unanswered questions in the Premier League is what the future holds for Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne. The Belgian midfielder’s current contract is set to expire next summer, and with his playing days numbered, the stakes are high for both De Bruyne and his club.

Despite being an integral part of Pep Guardiola’s team, De Bruyne’s appearances have been limited in recent seasons due to a series of injuries. At 33 years old, it’s clear that his playing time is dwindling, and it’s natural to wonder what the future holds.

Rumors have been circulating about a potential move to Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ittihad, with reports suggesting that a contract agreement had been reached. However, transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has since poured cold water on these claims, stating that "Saudi sources are playing down reports about Kevin De Bruyne reaching an agreement with Al-Ittihad — it’s NOT true."

So, what does this mean for De Bruyne and Manchester City? It’s clear that City will need to make a decision regarding their highest earner soon. Do they offer him a new contract, or do they cash in while they still can? Given De Bruyne’s importance to the team, it’s unlikely that City would want to lose him for nothing next summer.

Meanwhile, Al-Ittihad’s focus appears to be elsewhere, with Moussa Diaby reportedly set to join the Saudi club soon. Could this be a sign that their interest in De Bruyne has cooled? Only time will tell.

In related news, rumors are also circulating about Ederson’s future at Manchester City. With Stefan Ortega recently signing a new contract, many believe that the Brazilian goalkeeper’s days at the Etihad may be numbered. However, Pep Guardiola remains determined to keep hold of his number one, and it’s clear that a replacement will be needed if Ederson does depart.

In conclusion, the future of Kevin De Bruyne remains uncertain, and it will be fascinating to see how this situation unfolds over the coming months. Will City offer him a new contract, or will they cash in while they still can? Only time will tell.
