Kevin De Bruyne as Cristiano Ronaldo’s court passer? Next year it could become a reality!

Kevin De Bruyne has clearly had the most successful year of his career, but he is already 32 years old and Manchester City are already slowly looking for an adequate replacement. Furthermore, journalist Rudy Galetti has informed the world that Saudi Arabian team Al Nassr are set to meet with the Belgian midfielder to discuss a possible transfer to the Saudi Pro League.

De Bruyne has already played 358 games in a Citizens jersey, however, he has only spent 49 minutes on the pitch this season. After the opening two games, he is nursing an injury that has not yet allowed him to return to full fitness.

However, there is no doubt though that his return would be greatly welcomed by Pep Guardiola. After all, Manchester City are certainly not the rollers they were last season.

However, the question will be when or if the Belgian midfielder can return to his previous form after his injury. Moreover, he is under contract with the Citizens until the end of the 2024/2025 season, so there will surely be debates over his future at the Etihad Stadium.

With interesting news then came journalist Rudy Galetti, who reported on his Twitter account that the player’s agent is going to meet with Al Nassr representatives and they will discuss the possibilities of a possible transfer.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mané and former teammate Aymeric Laporte are already playing for the currently third best team in the Saudi Pro League. He would then play in midfield alongside Marcel Brozovic, Seko Fofana or Brazilian Talisca.

However, it can be assumed that Al Nassr will strengthen in January as well as in the summer transfer window as Saudi Arabian sides manage to bring in more and more players.

The winner of five Premier League titles has not yet commented on these speculations in a logical manner. Of course, it will depend on whether he still wants to make himself financially secure before the end of his career, as this transfer would be very beneficial for the wallets of Manchester City and the player himself.

After all, we are talking about the third best player in the world at the moment, only surpassed by Lionel Messi and teammate Erling Haaland.
