admin Manchester City will not lose their vice-captain and legendary midfielder Kevin De Bruyne this summer, according to a club insider.
The Belgian playmaker has been at the centre of continuous and ongoing speculation over his longer-term future for the best part of a year, with claims of Saudi Arabian interest first emerging during the 2023 summer transfer window.
It is widely believed that De Bruyne personally rebuffed interest from the ambitious Middle-Eastern division last summer, with a clear intention to prolong his stay with the reigning Premier League champions in search of further success and silverware.
