Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was seen jokingly commenting on Kevin De Bruyne’s new hairstyle as the Belgian midfielder returned to training after his extended holiday, Soccernet.football reports.
De Bruyne, who participated in the Euros, came back to the training ground with a fresh look.
His blonde hair, now longer and slicked back into a topknot, caught the attention of his teammates and manager alike.
Known for his close relationships with his players, Guardiola could not resist a light-hearted remark upon seeing De Bruyne’s new style.
Greeting the returning players, Guardiola quipped to the 33-year-old midfielder, “You have to explain to me this hair!”
Earlier this summer, Kevin De Bruyne was linked with a potential move to Saudi Arabia.
The Belgian midfielder has openly acknowledged that he is considering his family’s future, suggesting he might be open to a lucrative move to the Gulf.
Despite the rumours, it appears that De Bruyne will stay with Manchester City for another season.
As De Bruyne ponders his future, his focus remains on contributing to City’s success in the upcoming campaign.
Manchester City face Manchester United for the Community Shield trophy this Saturday, followed by their season opener against Chelsea on 18th August.
