Kevin De Bruyne Future: Saudi Interest and MLS Move
Kevin De Bruyne’s future has once again come under scrutiny as advisors held talks with Saudi clubs, sparking speculation about his next move. Here’s what we know:
Saudi Pro League Interest
De Bruyne’s advisors met with several Saudi Arabian clubs, including Al Hilal, Al-Nassr, and Al-Ittihad, during a recent visit. While there’s interest from the Saudi Pro League, De Bruyne is reportedly not keen on a mega-money move to the Middle East.
Preferred Destination: MLS
Despite the Saudi interest, De Bruyne is expected to extend his stay with Manchester City before eventually making a move to the MLS. San Diego FC has expressed interest, but De Bruyne is likely to have several suitors in the US when he decides to leave City.
Guardiola’s Stance
Pep Guardiola has expressed his desire for De Bruyne to stay at City but acknowledges that the decision ultimately lies with the player. Guardiola emphasized that he would love De Bruyne to stay but understands that every player has their own considerations.
Teammates in Demand
De Bruyne’s teammates, Ederson and Bernardo Silva, are also attracting interest from top Saudi clubs. Ederson’s City future is uncertain, while Bernardo still favors a move to Barcelona despite previous interest from Al Hilal.
Bernardo’s Decision
Bernardo rejected a lucrative contract offer from Al Hilal last summer to stay at City, citing his desire to continue playing in high-stakes UEFA Champions League matches and experiencing the electric atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium.
While De Bruyne’s immediate future may involve an extension at City, his eventual move to the MLS remains a strong possibility. As speculation continues, fans eagerly await De Bruyne’s decision regarding his next career move.
