Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has dismissed reports that Manchester City playmaker Kevin de Bruyne has agreed on a deal to leave Etihad Stadium for Al Ittihad.

Reports had earlier emerged that De Bruyne had reached an agreement with the Saudi Arabian club this summer transfer window.

However, in a tweet on X, Romano dismissed the report, branding it as not true.

He disclosed that the Saudi Arabian club are instead interested in signing De Bruyne’s Manchester City teammate, Ederson.

“Saudi sources playing down reports about Kevin de Bruyne reaching an agreement with Al Ittihad — told it’s NOT true.

“Al Ittihad are focused on Moussa Diaby deal, set to be sealed very soon.

“Next step for Saudi club will be new goalkeeper with Éderson talks on but not easy,” Romano tweeted on Sunday.
