Pep Guardiola is adamant that Kevin De Bruyne will stay at Manchester City this transfer window.
The influential midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League.
De Bruyne is going into the final year of his contract with the Citizens and admitted in an interview last month that a lucrative contract could sway his thinking.
Despite the speculation, Guardiola remains confident the Belgian will still be in his squad for the upcoming Premier League campaign.
Kevin isn t leaving, Guardiola told reporters at their pre-season training camp.

If someone leaves, we are going to talk about that and, of course, until the last day [of the transfer window] we have chances.
I don t rule out new players as an option, but I think there is an 85, 90, 95% chance we will have the same squad.
City have already signed Brazilian Savinho as they aim to win a record-extending fifth consecutive Premier League title next season.
They are also reportedly interested in bringing Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze to the Etihad.
