Kevin De Bruyne doubtful on Manchester City’s future amid slump in form

Manchester City veteran midfielder Kevin de Bruyne has cast doubt on his future with the club after a slump in his form. The Belgian footballer revealed he put contract talks on hold after suffering the injury which has kept him out of action for the previous two months.

De Bruyne’s current contract will expire at the end of the ongoing season. Due to injury woes, the 33-year-old has played only six matches in the Premier League this season, in which he has scored one goal and provided one assist.

The talisman hasn’t started for the Cityzens since mid-September and he could make his return to action against Feyenoord on Tuesday.

“I honestly don’t know,” De Bruyne told a news conference on Monday when asked about his future.

“At the start of the season, I knew talks would happen but then the thing [injury] happened against Brentford. It was meant to be a couple of days and then it was eight/nine weeks. I put it all to the side.

“I had a conversation in the summer, but then I had the injury so I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to talk about that. I need to be back on the pitch and be myself again. There’s no rush, I don’t feel uncomfortable, I’m not worried.”

De Bruyne has spent the last decade with the Sky Blues and he has been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League and MLS side San Diego FC.

Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola recently signed a two-year extension with the club and de Bruyne said the Spaniard’s staying could also impact his decision to sign an extension.

“It could help,” De Bruyne said. “I know what the future holds, I don’t have to speak to Pep about what is happening in the future, if there would be a new coach, you have to speak.

Manchester City will take on Feyenoord in the Champions League on Tuesday.
