Despite the relaxed atmosphere, De Bruyne’s future remains a hot topic among Manchester City fans. Reports have surfaced indicating that he has “verbally agreed” to a move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad. According to Italian journalist Rudy Galetti, representatives from Al-Ittihad, backed by the Saudi Public Investment Fund, have met with De Bruyne’s agents, and discussions are now focused on agreeing on a transfer fee.

If the move goes through, De Bruyne would join stars like Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, and Fabinho in the Saudi Pro League. With just one year left on his City contract, De Bruyne has expressed openness to new adventures, particularly for the sake of his family. He mentioned in a recent interview that his wife is interested in the idea of an “exotic adventure” abroad, and he is considering what the future holds.
De Bruyne acknowledged the financial allure of a move to Saudi Arabia, stating, “At my age, you have to be open to everything… you’re talking about incredible amounts of money in what may be the end of my career.” He emphasized the importance of considering the long-term implications of such a decision, particularly as he reflects on his family’s needs and his children’s upbringing.
