“Kevin is not going,” Guardiola said at a conference at North Carolina State University on Monday ahead of their preseason U.S. tour match against Celtic.
“I am delighted with the squad for many years. I don’t know what will happen in the market, if someone leaves, we will talk about that. But 85-95% we will have the same squad. We’ve made an impact in the market over past years and every situation is different. I feel comfortable because the quality we have in the squad is difficult to replace,” said Guardiola.
Kevin De Bruyne’s contract with Manchester City runs until the summer of 2025, and despite De Bruyne not dismissing the possibility of leaving, Pep Guardiola has stated that there will be no major changes to the squad before the end of the transfer window.
