Fabrizio Romano provided an update on the Kevin De Bruyne transfer situation, refuting claims that the player had reached an agreement with Al-Ittihad. Despite speculation about De Bruyne’s future, Romano revealed that there is no such agreement in place. City fans have been closely monitoring the Belgian’s situation as he only has one year left on his contract at City. De Bruyne has been coveted by officials in Saudi Arabia, who see him as a player who could help boost the Saudi Professional League’s profile.

Earlier reports suggested that De Bruyne was considering a move to Saudi Arabia due to the financial incentives, but Romano’s update indicates that the player is leaning towards staying at City for the final year of his contract. The journalist also dismissed claims made by other sources about an agreement between De Bruyne and Al-Ittihad. City is reportedly seeking a significant transfer fee if they were to consider selling De Bruyne, further complicating any potential move to Saudi Arabia.

While rumors had been circulating about De Bruyne’s possible transfer to Al-Ittihad, Romano’s update clarified that no agreement has been reached. City fans can take comfort in the fact that the influential midfielder seems more inclined to stay at the club for the upcoming season. With uncertainties surrounding the transfer fee and the lack of a concrete agreement between the clubs, a move to Saudi Arabia for De Bruyne appears unlikely at this stage.
