Manchester City’s Belgian star Kevin De Bruyne is open to moving to a Saudi League club upon his departure from the English club, the player revealed in media statements.
The 32-year-old is living in his last contract season with Man City, where his contract expires in the summer of 2025, but the English club aspire to extend his stay beyond that.
The City star spoke in dialogue with the “HLN” platform alongside his Belgian team-mate Romelu Lukaku, a Chelsea player on loan to Rome, in the presence of the pair in the team camp, about his future and about the prospect of a move to the Rosen League amid concerns among top Saudi clubs about the player’s services.

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 “.
In his view of the idea of moving to the Saudi League like many world stars, the City midfielder did not rule out moving to the Rosen League for financial temptations.

The former Chelsea star explained: “If I played there for two years, I would be able to make an incredible amount of money. Before that I had to play football for 15 years. I may not reach this amount yet. But right now, I don’t need to think about it yet. ”

The Belgian star has made 26 appearances in all competitions this season for Manchester City, missing for a few months due to injury, succeeding in scoring 6 goals and makers 18.
