Man City star targeted in £100m-plus mega move by Saudi sides
Saudi Pro League clubs are reportedly ready to make a staggering offer of over £100 million to lure Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne away, according to exclusive sources obtained by TEAMtalk.
De Bruyne, a pivotal figure in Manchester City’s recent successes, has attracted interest from the growing Saudi league, which has been aggressively pursuing top talent to enhance its global reputation.
The league has already secured signings like Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, signaling its ambition to become a powerhouse in world football.
With De Bruyne’s return from injury earlier this year, Saudi clubs see him as a prime target to elevate their league’s status further. Al-Nassr, featuring Ronaldo, is among those interested, aiming to make De Bruyne one of the highest-paid players in the league.
At 32, some speculate that De Bruyne’s peak years may be behind him, and City is reportedly considering options for his replacement, with Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala mentioned as a candidate.
Despite the lucrative offer from Saudi clubs, sources suggest that De Bruyne may prefer to extend his contract with City, aiming to continue competing at the highest level.
However, City’s policy of offering shorter contracts to aging players, exemplified by the departure of Ilkay Gundogan to Barcelona last year, could pave the way for De Bruyne’s potential move.
As negotiations unfold, De Bruyne’s future remains uncertain, with both Manchester City and Saudi clubs vying for his signature in what could be one of the biggest transfer sagas of the summer.
