Where does Kevin De Bruyne end up?
The Belgian is tight-lipped, but is open to staying in the Premier League. “Maybe,” he says to Sky.

When asked if he wants to stay near (the Premier League), De Bruyne replies:
“I don’t know. It depends on what comes up. I have a family and small children. I have to make a decision that works for everyone, not just myself. When you are 20 years old, you can make the decision alone, and it is an easy decision. Now it’s more complex”
