Saudi sources deny Kevin De Bruyne deal with Al-Ittihad; club focused on Moussa Diaby

Saudi sources have downplayed reports suggesting that Kevin De Bruyne has reached an agreement with Al-Ittihad. According to these sources, claims of De Bruyne agreeing to terms with the Saudi club are not true.

Al-Ittihad is currently concentrating on securing a deal for Moussa Diaby, which is expected to be finalized soon. The next priority for the Saudi club is to find a new goalkeeper. Although there have been discussions with Éderson, negotiations are proving to be challenging.

Despite ongoing speculation, De Bruyne, who has a year remaining on his contract with Manchester City, has not confirmed any deal with Al-Ittihad. Reports from Italy had suggested that the Belgian midfielder had agreed on personal terms with the Saudi club. However, discussions between Al-Ittihad and Manchester City regarding the transfer fee are still underway. If these talks succeed, De Bruyne may leave the Premier League a year before his contract ends.
