Manchester City’s star player, Kevin De Bruyne, is attracting fresh summer transfer offers from Saudi Pro League clubs. The 32-year-old midfielder has made a significant impact since his return from a five-month absence due to hamstring surgery, contributing to 10 goals in 10 appearances for Pep Guardiola’s team. De Bruyne, who has been with Manchester City since 2015 and is currently the longest-serving player in the squad, has won numerous trophies with the club, including five Premier League titles and the UEFA Champions League.
Despite his injury setbacks, De Bruyne remains one of the best players in the world. Talks about extending his contract beyond 2025 have not yet begun, and with Guardiola’s contract also expiring soon, Manchester City might face tough decisions regarding their key players. The club recently let Ilkay Gundogan leave for Barcelona on a free transfer but extended Kyle Walker’s contract until 2026.
Saudi Pro League clubs are reportedly intensifying their efforts to sign De Bruyne this summer, with Manchester City potentially facing bids from top clubs in the Middle Eastern league. Despite rejecting offers last summer, De Bruyne and the club are now facing renewed interest from Saudi Arabia. In the past, City allowed Riyad Mahrez and Aymeric Laporte to join Saudi Pro League clubs, and De Bruyne could be the next player to make a move.
In addition to De Bruyne, other Premier League stars like Casemiro from Manchester United and Mo Salah from Liverpool have also been linked with potential summer moves to Saudi Arabia. The transfer window promises to be an interesting one for Manchester City and its players, as they navigate these offers and potential changes in their squad.
