Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne is considering a new contract with the club, despite interest from Saudi Arabia. De Bruyne, whose current contract expires in 2025, has shown no signs of negotiation for an extension from Manchester City. His high-performance levels since returning from injury have attracted interest from Saudi Pro League, but De Bruyne is reportedly keen on continuing to play at a top level for longer.

De Bruyne’s desire to sign a new deal with Manchester City has faced a potential roadblock, as the club is hesitant to offer multi-year contracts to aging players. This reluctance could pave the way for Saudi Pro League sides to potentially secure a deal for the Belgian star. Manchester City, however, are prepared for all eventualities and are considering signing a player in De Bruyne’s position to succeed him in the future, whether he stays or moves away.

While Manchester City remains focused on De Bruyne’s contract situation, they are also monitoring the transfer market for potential replacements. A player in De Bruyne’s position could be signed to eventually succeed him, regardless of his decision to stay or leave. The club is also keeping an eye on Pep Guardiola’s contract negotiations, with the coach’s future at the Etihad Stadium also uncertain.
