De Bruyne staying with Manchester City, agent reveals

Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne is not leaving Manchester City for another challenge, his agent Patrick De Koster has said.

Reports in Europe have linked the Belgian midfielder with a move this summer, especially if the club's UEFA Champions League ban is upheld. Their appeal with CAS could bring a decision next week.

However, Koster has denied that the 29-year-old is about to quit the club, according to Tribal Football.

He told Sporza: "At the moment he is not at all busy with that.

"He still has a three-year contract with a team that belongs at the top of the world, at a club and in a city where Kevin feels good and appreciated.

"There will be many people who find this woolly, but he's not thinking about a transfer."

The agent added: "There is always an informal interest for a good player in the football world. Whether that is KDB or Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo or Antoine Griezmann.

"If everything I read in the papers were correct, then I would need a 48-hour watch and to be all over the world at the same time.

"I can declare in good conscience here and even swear on my children's head that everything I read is 90 per cent rubbish."

And the agent believes if Manchester City can win the Champions League this season, their season will be considered a success, despite finishing a distant second in the Premier League.

"If all these prizes are won, no one will complain about Manchester City's season, I think," said De Koster.
