Kevin De Bruyne Open to Extending Manchester City Contract Despite Transfer Speculation
Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, despite recent speculation linking him to clubs in Saudi Arabia and the United States, is reportedly open to extending his current contract with Manchester City.
The 32-year-old Belgian concluded his ninth season with the club, albeit with a season marked by a long-term hamstring injury that sidelined him from August to January.
Despite the injury setback, De Bruyne made 26 appearances for Manchester City, contributing to their sixth Premier League title during the 2023/24 campaign. However, with his contract set to expire in 2025, there have been rumors of potential moves away from the Etihad Stadium, particularly to clubs in Saudi Arabia and MLS.
While De Bruyne could explore his options as a free agent from January onwards, he is reportedly willing to discuss an extension to his current deal with Manchester City. This news comes amid interest from Saudi Arabian clubs, who have identified De Bruyne as one of their top targets for the upcoming transfer window.
Despite being replaced in the 57th minute of the FA Cup Final loss to Manchester United, De Bruyne remains a pivotal figure for Manchester City.
With 382 appearances and 15 trophies to his name at the club, including surpassing the 100-goal mark during the recent campaign, his potential contract extension would be welcome news for the Sky Blues and their supporters.
