Since Kevin De Bruyne’s contract at the Etihad expires in 2025, there is still uncertainty around his future at Man City. Saudi Arabia is seeking to capitalize on this circumstance.
Although the Belgium international’s future at the Etihad is still up in the air, negotiations on a new contract have not yet concluded. This summer, Al-Ittihad of the Saudi Pro League expressed interest in the City star player.
It was even reported that De Bruyne agreed personal terms with the Saudi outfit but with the transfer window closing last week, the midfielder remained at the Etihad Stadium.
The 33-year-old has now addressed this topic and has stated that he didn’t speak with any club during the summer despite the links to the Saudi Pro League.
“I haven’t spoken to anyone. There’s been a lot of noise and news,” the Belgian said via Fabrizio Romano.
“I said in the summer I expected a quiet summer and that’s what happened.
“I’ve been on holiday, came back, started training. That’s it. Nothing else.”
Kevin De Bruyne opens up on Man City future
De Bruyne has spent the last nine years at Man City and has established himself as a club legend throughout that time, winning everything with the Manchester club.
The midfielder turns 34 next summer and that will be taken into consideration when it comes to the Premier League champions deciding on his future.
De Bruyne has admitted that he is sure talks over a new contract will take place later in the season but for now, the Belgian star wants to enjoy his football.
“Once the season goes on, I’m sure there will be talks,” the Man City star said via Fabrizio Romano.
“I just want to feel good, play good football and this will come in the upcoming months.”
The situation regarding De Bruyne’s future will be a hard one for Man City to deal with given his status at the Manchester club as the 33-year-old will have to take a big pay cut to remain at the Etihad Stadium.
The current campaign should be the midfielder’s last with City as 2025 seems like the perfect time for the duo to end their incredible story together.
