Kevin De Bruyne says he could quit Man City if Champions League ban is upheld

Kevin De Bruyne has hinted that he could quit Manchester City if the club's Champions League ban is upheld.
The Belgian international insists that his future at the Etihad will NOT be shaped by whether Pep Guardiola decides to sign a new contract to stay at the club.


But he has revealed his concern over UEFA's decision to ban the Blues from Europe for two seasons for breaking FFP regulations.
And De Bruyne has admitted for the first time that it might have a bearing on where he will spend the peak years of his career.
De Bruyne said: “I'm just waiting. The club has told us that they are going to appeal - and that they are almost 100 percent sure that they are right.

“That's why I'm waiting to see what will happen. I trust my team.

“Then his contract ends. But I'm not going to let my decision depend on what Pep is doing.
“Of course I have already worked with other trainers and when Pep leaves, I have to continue working with someone else.
“But I haven't really paid much attention to that for the time being.
“There are more important things at the moment.”
There will be no shortage of takers should De Bruyne decide to leave Manchester if City's ban is confirmed when the Court of Arbitration for Sport hears their appeal.
