Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne is not leaving the club.

Reports in Europe have linked the Belgian midfielder with a move this summer, especially if the club's UEFA Champions League ban is upheld.

Their appeal with CAS could bring a decision next week. But De Bruyne's agent Patrick De Koster denied the 29-year-old is about to move.

He told Sporza: "At the moment he is not at all busy with that.

"He still has a three-year contract with a team that belongs at the top of the world, at a club and in a city where Kevin feels good and appreciated.

"There will be many people who find this woolly, but he's not thinking about a transfer."

The agent added: "There is always an informal interest for a good player in the football world. Whether that is KDB or Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo or Antoine Griezmann.

"If everything I read in the papers were correct, then I would need a 48-hour watch and to be all over the world at the same time.

"I can declare in good conscience here and even swear on my children's head that everything I read is 90 per cent rubbish."

And the agent believes if Manchester City can win the Champions League this season, their season will be considered a success, despite finishing a distant second in the Premier League.

"If all these prizes are won, no one will complain about Manchester City's season, I think," said De Koster.
