Pep Guardiola has shared his thoughts on Kevin De Bruyne’s future at Manchester City amidst rumors of a potential move to Saudi Arabia this summer.
The Belgian star recently made a comeback after recovering from a hamstring surgery that kept him out for a significant period.
De Bruyne has made a remarkable return, contributing with crucial goals and assists as City enjoys a 17-game unbeaten streak.
Despite his recent performance, there have been reports linking the 32-year-old to a move to the Saudi Pro League, a destination becoming popular among European veterans due to increased financial opportunities.
While De Bruyne and his family reportedly prefer to stay in Manchester, Guardiola remains uncertain about the midfielder’s future at the club.
It’s a question for him,” Guardiola said. “I would love that he stays, but I don’t know. I listen, yeah, from some links, but I don’t know if he has an offer.
“I don’t know if Saudi Arabia wants him, I don’t know. I would love for him to stay here, of course. But everyone is everyone.”
De Bruyne’s current contract with City runs until 2025, with no talks of an extension taking place yet.
With a tough schedule ahead, including matches against Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool, City must stay focused on their immediate goals.
As City competes in multiple competitions, the upcoming weeks will be crucial in determining the success of their season. Guardiola hopes to retain De Bruyne, a key player in their squad, as they aim for further success.
The uncertainty surrounding De Bruyne’s future adds an additional layer of intrigue to City’s season as they chase silverware on multiple fronts.
