Kevin De Bruyne is expected to receive offers to leave Manchester City this summer, sources have told Football Insider.

There has been interest in the Belgium international from Saudi and MLS clubs recently as they look to lure him away from the Etihad once the transfer window reopens.

Football Insider revealed on 27 May the 32-year-old is keen to hold talks over his future with the Citizens ahead of his contract expiring in June 2025.

Sources say De Bruyne is happy at Man City for now, but the attacking midfielder wants to know where he fits into the club’s plans for next season and beyond.

Football Insider revealed in March the two parties had postponed negotiations over a new deal until the end of the campaign, with those talks now set to resume face-to-face.

Pep Guardiola wants Kevin De Bruyne to remain at Man City

Pep Guardiola is believed to be desperate to keep hold of his star man as he looks to help the club retain their Premier League title again next season.

Despite only making 26 appearances throughout the campaign due to a hamstring issue, De Bruyne still managed to score six goals and register 18 assists.

Man City chiefs are weighing up whether to offer the Belgian what could be his last big contract at the club before he turns 33 in June.

Football Insider previously revealed Saudi Pro League clubs have registered an interest in landing a summer deal for the attacking midfielder.

De Bruyne has spent the past nine years at the Etihad since joining the club from German side Wolfsburg in 2015 and has won 16 trophies during that time.
