Kevin De Bruyne’s Al-Ittihad Move in Doubt Amidst Club Chaos

The situation at Al-Ittihad has cast doubt on their pursuit of Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne. While there have been rumours of De Bruyne joining the Saudi club internal chaos and uncertainties about the managerial and presidential positions have stalled progress.

Currently on holiday after the Euros De Bruyne has one year left on his contract with Manchester City. The future of this potential transfer remains unclear with further developments expected later in the summer.

Fabrizio Romano said that De Bruyne is not close to joining Al-Ittihad at this time, putting an end to any speculation that he has reached an agreement with the club.

Romano wrote for CaughtOffside: “We’ve had more Kevin De Bruyne Saudi rumours again, with some reports over the weekend about the Manchester City playmaker possibly becoming an Al-Ittihad player but my understanding is that nothing is close or imminent as of today.”

“The situation at Al-Ittihad is really complicated at the moment, and it’s possible that their move to hire Stefano Pioli as manager will collapse, while the president could also leave the club.”
