Kevin De Bruyne is expected to sign a new contract at Man City despite Saudi Pro League interest, sources have told Football Insider.

De Bruyne, 33, is currently out of contract at the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

He is fit and firing in the new season and it is believed City chiefs have no concerns about his long-term fitness.

Talks are expected to kick off in the coming weeks following the end of the transfer window, with a solution set to come before the new year.

Football Insider revealed in October 2023 that Saudi clubs were planning to offer Man City superstar De Bruyne a huge salary package to join the footballing project in the Middle East.
