Guardiola: He is not coming back and has been permitted to leave the after Euro 2024
According to the Daily Post news, Kevin De Bruyne, a key player for Manchester City, has stated that he has been given assurance by his manager, Pep Guardiola, that he will be allowed to leave the club if he requests a transfer.
Kevin De Bruyne, in an interview with HLN, clarified that while he has been permitted to leave Manchester City by Pep Guardiola, he has not yet engaged in any discussions or negotiations with other clubs regarding a potential transfer.
Kevin De Bruyne, the captain of the Belgian national team, currently competing in Euro 2024, acknowledged that he might consider transferring to a new club for an extremely high transfer fee, described as “absurd money”.
Kevin De Bruyne clarified that despite rumors about a potential transfer to Saudi Arabia, he has not had any discussions with anyone about a move, and while he acknowledged that a lucrative offer could lead to a departure from Manchester City if he expresses his desire to leave to Pep Guardiola, he has not expressed any desire to leave the club.
Kevin De Bruyne stated that while he already has sufficient wealth, he would consider accepting an extravagant transfer offer if it would not only benefit him but also provide financial security for his loved ones, including his family, relatives, future generations, and friends.

Former Manchester City captain Ilkay Gundogan believes one player the club are reportedly targeting is the best technical player Germany have right now.
Gundogan was speaking ahead of Germany’s quarter-final with Spain at Euro 2024, which takes place on Friday evening.
It is set to be one of the matches of the tournament so far, with both nations having really impressed across their four games. They are the two favourites, and it may well be that whoever comes out on top goes on to win the whole thing.
Gundogan has been enjoying a really strong tournament as Germany’s captain.
But one many who has arguably played even better is Jamal Musiala, a player thought to be of interest to City, although not a priority target at this stages.
Gundogan recently praised Musiala, and was speaking about him again ahead of Germany vs Spain.

Musiala has been a joy to watch so far at Euro 2024.
He is the joint-top goalscorer so far with three goals, and the 21-year-old has enjoyed really strong outings against Scotland, Hungary, Switzerland and Denmark.
But he now has his biggest test coming up against Spain, and the £90,000-a-week ace will need to be on top form.
Spain have plenty of wonderful technicians in their squad.
But Gundogan believes Musiala is actually Germany’s very best technician. He told AS: “On a technical level, he is the best player we have right now.
“I could talk about Jamal and the Ballon d’Or right now in the future, but I don’t want to put pressure on him. He knows what he’s capable of, and so does our team and our coach.
“I also like it a lot as a human being. He’s humble and a very nice guy. I can only say positive things about him.”
Musiala’s technical ability would make him perfect for City
So Gundogan cannot see a player more technical in the Germany squad than Musiala, and it has to be said, the youngster would be such a good fit at City.
At the moment, there is not a major need for him. It would take a player like Matheus Nunes or Bernardo Silva to depart for it to make more sense.
But most City fans would simply love to see him wearing a City shirt from next season.
Pep Guardiola obviously loves his technicians, but he also loves versatile players and Musiala can operate comfortably anywhere in the attacking midfield areas and out wide.
Earlier this week, former City winger Leroy Sane said that he felt Musiala has a good chacne to win a Ballon d’Or. Between what he and Gundogan have said, he would surely make for a brilliant addition to the current City squad.
