Belgian club Manchester City playmaker Kevin de Bruyne has hinted at the possibility of leaving his team in the event that the European Union (UEFA) installed the penalty of exclusion from the Champions League in the next two years.
The words of De Bruyne, 28, came in an interview with the Belgian newspaper, "Hit Latte News", through video technology, and said, "I am waiting. The club told us that he would appeal the decision, and they are 100 percent sure that they are right. ”
"We will wait and see what happens," he added. When the decision is made, I will look into it. Two years without going to the Champions League is a long time for me. "I can cope with one year."
The Sports Arbitration Court will hear the appeal of Manchester City at the beginning of the summer.
UEFA has excluded Manchester City from participating in its competitions for two years, in violation of the rules of fair financial play.
However, the North English club lodged an appeal against the ruling of the Club’s Financial Supervision Committee issued on February 14, 2020.
De Bruyne is still linked to a three-year contract with City and has indicated that if his club succeeds in the appeal, he will remain in his ranks even if he tried Barcelona Or Real Madrid included him, and he said in this regard: "I play for one of the best teams in the world, I play in the English Premier League, which I consider to be the best league."
He pointed out that his fate is not linked to the fate of his Spanish coach Pep Guardiola, whose contract with the Citizens expires next year. "Labib previously announced that he will stay next year no matter what happens, then his contract expires after that." But my decision is not related to what Pep will do. ”
"I previously worked with other coaches and when Pep decides to leave, I have to work with the coach who will come after him," he said. But I don't care about that at the moment, there are more important things. ”
