Kevin De Bruyne in the dark over Club World Cup place as Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku claims captain can still compete with the elite

Kevin De Bruyne admitted that his participation at the Club World Cup is unclear, with the Manchester City captain’s contract set to expire mid-tournament.

City are bidding farewell to the 33-year-old at the end of the season after deciding not to renew his £385,000-a-week deal as they embark on a rebuild.

New director of football Hugo Viana is looking at tying up moves for Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz and Morgan Gibbs-White at Nottingham Forest in the midfield area over the summer.

De Bruyne’s penultimate game at the Etihad Stadium finishing with him having scored the winner against Wolves but the Belgian doesn’t know if his stay will extend beyond the Premier League season.
