Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola provided an update on Kevin De Bruyne’s future during a press conference ahead of their pre-season match against Celtic in North Carolina. De Bruyne is currently on holiday after representing Belgium at Euro 2024, and speculation about a potential transfer to Saudi Arabia has been circulating in the media.
Guardiola dismissed rumors of De Bruyne leaving the club, confirming that the vice-captain will return to training on August 5. Manchester City’s squad in the United States consists mainly of young players and those who did not participate in the recent European Championships or Copa America, but De Bruyne’s absence has raised questions about his future with the club.
As the team prepares for the FA Community Shield against Manchester United, the focus is on finalizing preparations and ensuring that players like De Bruyne are match-fit. Some players who were away at tournaments over the summer, such as Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol, will be joining the squad in New York City for upcoming pre-season matches.
