VERY SAD Kelvin De Bruyne news has been announced this morning as the player has just left Manchester City to join this Saudi Arabian Club
Manchester City has reportedly disclosed their valuation for midfielder Kevin De Bruyne in light of interest from the Saudi Pro League. The Al Nassr club from the Saudi Pro League is said to have set their sights on De Bruyne for a potential move next summer, aiming to convince the City legend to depart European football.
Should De Bruyne make the transition to the Saudi Pro League and join forces with Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane, it would also facilitate a reunion with former Manchester City teammate Aymeric Laporte, who recently joined the club.
During the previous summer, De Bruyne opted to remain at City and declined advances from Saudi Arabia. However, the 2023/24 season has not gone as planned for the 32-year-old due to a hamstring injury sustained on the opening day against Burnley, keeping him off the field.
Reports now suggest that Manchester City is willing to entertain offers for the Belgian midfielder before his contract expires in the summer of 2025. They have set an asking price of £60 million, despite De Bruyne’s status as one of the world’s top players when in good health.
This valuation is unlikely to be an issue for the Saudi Pro League, especially as predictions point to the 2024 summer transfer window being one of the biggest spending periods in history.
De Bruyne’s potential departure next summer would bring an end to his remarkable nine-year journey at Manchester City, where he solidified his status as one of the Premier League’s all-time midfield greats.
His time with the club, overseen by Pep Guardiola, has yielded an impressive haul of 14 trophies, including five Premier League titles and one Champions League victory. De Bruyne’s signing from Wolfsburg in 2015 for a reported club-record fee of £54 million, despite initial criticism from pundits, has certainly proven to be an astute investment.
