Saudi Pro League clubs are eager to secure the services of Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne, but they will have to splash out more than £100 million to make it happen. Reports from TalkSPORT suggest that the Middle Eastern clubs are eyeing the 32-year-old Belgian midfielder as a top target for the upcoming transfer window.

The Saudi Pro League teams have been making significant strides in the transfer market, signing top European talents to elevate the standard of their league. Players like Mohamed Salah from Liverpool and De Bruyne from City are on their radar, with lucrative offers expected to lure them to the Middle East.

De Bruyne’s current contract with Manchester City runs until 2025, and despite initial talks about a new deal being put on hold due to injury, the club is now considering extending his stay. Since returning from a hamstring injury, De Bruyne has been in top form, contributing two goals and eight assists in nine appearances.

City is keen to tie down the 32-year-old to a new contract before the end of the season, ensuring that his value remains high in the market. Even with just a year left on his deal, the club will demand a hefty fee of over £100 million from any Saudi Pro League club wanting to sign the Belgian playmaker.

While City will make every effort to retain De Bruyne, the allure of a lucrative move to the Middle East may prove tempting for the player. Clubs in that region have the financial capacity to meet City’s asking price for the talented midfielder, making a potential transfer a real possibility.
