Premier League champions Manchester City are reportedly set to hold showdown talks with Kevin De Bruyne amid strong interest from Saudi Arabia.

Kevin De Bruyne's future at Manchester City hangs in the balance, with his contract entering its final year.

The two-time PFA Player of the Year has been linked to a potential move to Saudi Arabia, with rumors suggesting he'd agreed to personal terms with Al-Ittihad.

However, a follow-up report denied any deal between De Bruyne and the Saudi Pro League club.

Manager Pep Guardiola has since weighed in, declaring the 33-year-old won't be departing the Premier League champions this summer.

While an immediate exit seems unlikely, it remains uncertain whether De Bruyne will prolong his stay beyond the 2024-25 season.

According to the Daily Mail, Manchester City will meet with De Bruyne to discuss his future intentions.

The report indicates the club will schedule discussions for when the midfielder returns to Manchester next month after his extended holiday following a disappointing EURO 2024.
