Manchester City’s vice-captain Kevin De Bruyne has reportedly received a whopping €150 million proposal from Saudi Arabia over a two-year period. The 33-year-old’s future with Manchester City is up in the air, with intense transfer speculation suggesting a potential move to Saudi Arabia either this summer or when his current contract expires in 2025. Despite the rumors, club officials remain confident that De Bruyne will stay with Manchester City for the upcoming season.
If De Bruyne and Manchester City do not come to an agreement on a contract extension, he could leave the club next summer. Reports from Belgian media suggest that discussions have already taken place with clubs in Saudi Arabia regarding a move once his current contract ends. De Bruyne himself has expressed the financial appeal of such a move, acknowledging that the money involved could be significant considering his age and stage in his career.
De Bruyne has openly spoken about the possibility of moving to the Middle-East for financial reasons and the potential earnings of €150 million over two years. Despite the ongoing speculation, Manchester City expects De Bruyne to return to training as scheduled in August.
