Kevin De Bruyne Hits a U-Turn on Potential Saudi Move for ‘Incredible Money’, Reveals Future Plans

There have been a lot of talks about Kevin De Bruyne‘s future at Manchester City. While the ongoing Euro 2024 might have taken some attention off the transfer window, fans are still interested to see what’s next for the Belgian playmaker. De Bruyne sparked rumors earlier this year when he spoke positively about a potential move to Saudi Arabia, stating that it would be a mistake to overlook the offer on the table.

Since then, fans seem convinced the player will leave Manchester City this summer. The 33-year-old has been a crucial player for Pep Guardiola since he arrived at the Etihad. The pair have made history together, and it seems like KDB isn’t willing to let go of things so soon. Kevin De Bruyne commented on his future in an interview Dutch website HLN as he made his plans known for the summer.

The Manchester City star stated, “I’ll have a quiet summer. I’ll enjoy my holidays and will return to City afterwards. I assume there will be talks with City in the upcoming months.” 

Saudi Arabia has shortlisted Kevin De Bruyne as one of their top targets for the summer transfer window. Multiple Saudi Pro League outfits are keen on signing the player and it’s been reported Manchester City is ready to make a deal for the Belgian if they approach him with a substantial offer.
