Pep Guardiola is resolute that Kevin De Bruyne will remain at Manchester City during this transfer window.

The influential midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League.

De Bruyne is entering the final year of his contract with the Citizens and admitted in an interview last month that a lucrative offer could influence his decision.

Despite the speculation, Guardiola is confident the Belgian will still be part of his squad for the upcoming Premier League season.

“Kevin isn’t leaving,” Guardiola told reporters at their pre-season training camp.

“If someone leaves, we will discuss it, and, of course, we have options until the last day [of the transfer window].

“I don’t rule out new signings, but I believe there is an 85, 90, 95% chance we will retain the same squad.”

City have already signed Brazilian Savinho as they aim to win a record-extending fifth consecutive Premier League title next season.

They are also reportedly interested in bringing Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze to the Etihad.
