Kevin de Bruyne, the Manchester City midfielder, admitted that he didn’t hold talks with any other club about leaving the Etihad during the summer transfer window. Earlier, the 33-year-old was “open to everything,” apart from speaking with his family in regard to possibly exiting Manchester City after being linked to the Saudi Arabian clubs recently.
Notably, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, who has been quizzed about the status of Kevin de Bruyne in recent months, stated that the Belgian international would not be sold. Just a year prior to Guardiola’s appointment in the top job at Manchester City in 2016, de Bruyne had joined the English club from Wolfsburg in Germany.
I haven't spoken to anyone, to be honest: Kevin de Bruyne
During an interview with BBC Radio Manchester, Kevin de Bruyne addressed his future at Manchester City and said, “I haven't spoken to anyone, to be honest. There has been a lot of noises and news. I said in the summer I expect a quiet summer and that's actually what happened. I've been on holiday for four weeks, came back and started training. That was it. Nothing to tell. I've not been entertained by anybody or spoken to anybody.”
It is important to remember that Kevin de Bruyne only has one year left on his current contract at Manchester City. With that in mind, he said, “Once the season goes on, I'm sure there will be conversations with City. I just want to feel good, play good football and this will come in the upcoming months. I don't really feel the rush for the moment.”
Moreover, in the first three matches of the new Premier League season, which Manchester City have won, Kevin de Bruyne has scored a goal and provided an assist.
