Cristiano Ronaldo is interested in having Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne join him at Al Nassr in 2025.
The Portuguese football star aims to see more European talents sign with the Saudi Pro League team, and De Bruyne’s potential transfer is being discussed.
Currently, De Bruyne’s contract with Manchester City runs until the end of the 2024/25 season, and he has not made a decision about renewing it yet.
The decision regarding his future is influenced by the uncertainty surrounding Pep Guardiola’s contract extension with the club.
Details of Kevin De Bruyne’s Contract at Manchester City
De Bruyne’s contract is set to expire in June 2025, and he can start discussing a move to clubs outside of the Premier League from January 2025.
However, he won’t be able to officially transfer without a fee until the summer, unless Manchester City agrees to terminate his contract early.
He is reported to be the top earner in the Premier League, with a weekly salary around £400,000 ($523,000), and any new contract could involve a pay cut.
Update on Potential De Bruyne Transfer to Al Nassr
According to Mundo Deportivo, Ronaldo is encouraging Al Nassr to present De Bruyne with a lucrative offer, possibly around $1 million per week.
De Bruyne has previously shown interest in moving to Saudi Arabia if he chooses not to extend his stay in Europe.
Al Nassr possesses the financial capability to make such an enticing offer to persuade De Bruyne to leave City.
