Kevin De Bruyne has been at the center of transfer speculation, with rumors suggesting he had agreed personal terms with a Saudi Pro League club. However, these claims have been dismissed, and Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that De Bruyne will not be leaving the club. With only one year left on his contract, talks of a potential extension have surfaced.

Despite interest from the Saudi Pro League in De Bruyne, he is unlikely to sign a new contract with Manchester City if it involves a reduction in his wages. The club may face difficulties convincing him to extend his stay, especially considering the lucrative offers he could receive elsewhere. De Bruyne is currently the highest-paid player in the Premier League, and the prospect of earning a substantial signing bonus upon leaving next summer adds to the uncertainty of his future at City.

Although De Bruyne will remain at Manchester City for at least another year, the likelihood of him signing a new deal seems slim. Reports suggest that he is impressed by the earning potential in Saudi and may be tempted by a lucrative contract outside of England. The club’s reluctance to offer him the same pay terms due to his age could lead to further complications in negotiations for a contract extension.
