Several high-profile football stars, including Neymar, Benzema, Kante, Mahrez, and Mane, have made moves to the Middle East.
The Saudi clubs have shown a strong intent to attract top talent, and they are now eyeing Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne, with plans to offer him a substantial salary in the summer of 2024.
De Bruyne’s contract with Manchester City is set to expire in 2025. Given his age, a significant offer from the Middle East clubs could be tempting for both the player and the club.
While the 32-year-old Belgian midfielder is content at Man City for now, the allure of a substantial financial package might sway his decision if such an offer materializes.
De Bruyne’s current absence from the pitch due to a serious hamstring injury, which occurred on the Premier League’s opening day, has raised concerns about his recent injury record. Manchester City is fully aware of these concerns.
The prospect of the Saudis’ substantial offer could provide a strategic way for Manchester City to part ways with their midfield star.
Julian Alvarez’s impressive performance in his current role adds depth to the squad, and the funds generated from De Bruyne’s transfer could be reinvested to further strengthen the team.
