Kevin De Bruyne will stay at Manchester City beyond this summer’s transfer deadline despite strong links to Saudi Arabia, according to Pep Guardiola.

“Kevin isn’t leaving,” said the City boss following reports that De Bruyne had agreed terms with Al-Ittihad.

“If someone leaves, we are going to talk about that and, of course, until the last day [of the transfer window] we have chances,” he added.

“I don’t rule out new players as an option, but I think there is an 85, 90, 95 per cent chance we will have the same squad.”
