Man City’s Kevin De Bruyne Agrees To Join Saudi Arabia Club – Reports

According to reports, Manchester United star player, Kevin De Bruyne, has officially confirmed his move to Saudi Arabia.

The star player was eliminated from the 2024 European Championship after Belgium lost to France 1-0 on Monday.

Italian journalist, Rudy Galetti, has reported that the Saudi team’s delegation and the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) had discussions with De Bruyne’s representatives.

Galetti has stated that the Saudi team’s approval is a significant step in the transfer process, as it indicates their willingness to negotiate and potentially finalize the deal.

It’s up to Al-Ittihad and Manchester City to settle on a transfer fee.

Based in Jeddah, Al-Ittihad ended the previous season in fifth place in the Saudi Pro-League.

They also still need to sign Marco Silva, the former coach of Fulham, as their new manager this week.

De Bruyne, 33, would be joining a team that includes Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, and Fabinho if he were to make the move. His addition could potentially elevate the team’s performance.

With only one year remaining on his contract with Manchester City, De Bruyne’s future is uncertain.

The club is usually hesitant to extend contracts to players over 30 for over a year, a policy that has led to the departure of former captain Ilkay Gundogan to Barcelona last summer, following a successful season with City.

De Bruyne Speaks On Family Interest

De Bruyne has shown a willingness to consider leaving Manchester City when discussing his plans for the future.

He recently mentioned to a Belgian magazine that his spouse would be receptive to the idea of embarking on a “unique journey” if the chance arose to relocate to another country.

“For Michele, an exotic adventure is OK. These are also conversations that we are increasingly having as a family.

“I still have one year left on my contract, so I have to think about what could happen.

“My eldest is now eight years old and knows nothing but England. He also asks how long I will play for City.

“Once the moment comes, we will have to deal with it in a certain way,” De Bruyne told HLN.
