- Guardiola has quashed rumors of de Bruyne leaving
- Guardiola insists he will remain a City player.
- City's goalkeeper Ederson has attracted interest
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has quashed rumors of Kevin de Bruyne leaving the club this summer.
Despite the Belgian midfielder having only a year left on his contract and admitting to considering offers from the Saudi Pro League due to lucrative financial packages, Guardiola insists De Bruyne will remain a City player.
The influential midfielder played a pivotal role in City’s fourth consecutive Premier League title triumph last season.
Guardiola believes the squad that brought them this success is likely to remain largely intact for the upcoming campaign.
While the manager hasn’t completely ruled out new signings, he’s confident that the core of the team will stay together. City’s Premier League title defense kicks off with a match against Chelsea on August 18th.
Meanwhile, there has been speculation surrounding the futures of other key players. Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze has been linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium, while City’s goalkeeper Ederson has attracted interest from Saudi Arabia.
