The Saudis have already captured some of the Premier League’s elite players like Cristiano Ronaldo & Roberto Firmino. However, it doesn’t look like they are resting on their laurels. As per the latest reports, Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne is next on the wanted list. A 2-time PFA POTY winner, it will be interesting to see if Man City sanction a move for their talisman, who previously shrugged off a move to reunite with his former teammate in Saudi.

The Belgian Wizard’s season was offset by a hamstring injury sustained in August. Since then he has since recovered from the injury and was set to return to action in January. However, after the latest reports, it remains to be seen which club KDB lines up for next.

Will Kevin De Bruyne head to the Middle East?

As per global transfer expert Ekrem KONUR, “Manchester City could receive an offer of over $54 million from the Saudi Arabian league for 32-year-old Belgian Kevin De Bruyne in January.” The Belgian midfielder would have been untouchable in the previous seasons, but this season, the equation has changed. His injury issues have seriously impacted Man City and they will be cautious of building their squad around the midfielder.

Moreover, De Bruyne is 32 and will turn 33 by the next season. Considering, that his playstyle revolves a lot around his ball-carrying & physicality, it’s likely that KDB won’t return to the as the same player. So, this might be Man City’s best option to get money on the player they invested $82 million in 2015.

Additionally, Man City have brought in midfield reinforcements like Kovacic and Matheus Nunes. Phil Foden is also now playing in midfield in a similar role to KDB. Perhaps, he will alter his previous stance regarding a move to the SPL.

KDB had recently rejected a move to the SPL

Previously, KDB had received an approach from SPL club Al Nassr. As per the journalist who broke the news, “After the first approach, DeBruyne informed the [Saudi] negotiator and the representatives of AlNassr that he wants to remain fully focused on MCFC until the end of the season.” Hence, does the latest news indicate that his stance has changed?

Former Man City teammate Aymeric Laporte is enjoying life at Al Nassr and it would have been noticed by KDB. Moreover, the Man City no 17 had previously called Cristiano Ronaldo as someone whom he would like to play with. Considering that KDB is in the final stretch of his career, this could be his last chance to make a big final paycheck.

Will we get to see a KDB-CR7 partnership? Tell us in the comments below.
