Kevin De Bruyne drops biggest hint yet about his Man City future amid links to Saudi Pro League

Kevin De Bruyne has dropped a major hint over his future following consistent rumours linking him to a potential move away from the Etihad this summer.

In July it was reported by journalist Rudy Galetti that Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad had reached an agreement with De Bruyne over personal terms, however, nothing materialised between the two clubs.

De Bruyne was given extended leave by Man City over the summer following his participation in Euro 2024 with Belgium, where his nation were knocked out by France in the round of 16.

The 33-year-old has now entered the final year of his contract after last renewing his deal back in 2021, which made a potential move to the SPL seem more of a possibility.

With De Bruyne still in a City shirt past the transfer deadline, the Belgian playmaker took to BBC Radio Manchester to reveal what happened over the summer window.

"I haven't spoken to anyone, to be honest," De Bruyne revealed.

"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," he confirmed.

The midfielder also addressed his precarious contract situation at the club, stating: "Once the season goes on, I'm sure there will be conversations to be had 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."

De Bruyne has started all three of City's Premier League matches so far scoring one goal and providing one assist, which may actually seem rather conservative numbers considering the nine goals scored by Guardiola's side.
