Al-Nassr, the Saudi football giants, are reportedly making their move to secure Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne in a blockbuster transfer, with the potential reunion of the Belgian star and Cristiano Ronaldo on the horizon. De Bruyne, whose contract with Manchester City extends until 2025, has attracted the interest of Al-Nassr, who have initiated discussions with his agent regarding a possible meeting. The Saudi side intends to present their long-term vision to persuade the midfield maestro to join their ranks.
At 32, De Bruyne remains a vital asset for Pep Guardiola’s squad. However, he has been plagued by fitness issues, limiting his Premier League appearances this season. As a consequence, Manchester City has paused contract negotiations until he fully recovers.
If Al-Nassr succeeds in their pursuit, De Bruyne would join the Middle East exodus, uniting with former City teammate Aymeric Laporte and sharing the pitch with renowned stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, and Alex Telles.
For now, De Bruyne’s focus is on recuperation, aiming to regain his fitness and contribute to Manchester City’s campaign before contemplating the prospect of a move to the Saudi Pro League.
