Saudi Arabia is reportedly willing to finance a deal worth over £100 million for Manchester City and Belgium midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, who is approaching the twilight of his career. City officials are monitoring his performance closely and preparing for his eventual departure, despite the possibility of extending his contract beyond 2025.
Interest from Saudi Arabia and other markets is strong, with reports suggesting that clubs in the Saudi Pro League are willing to offer a deal that could make De Bruyne one of the highest paid players in the country.
