Al-Nassr is reportedly “confident” about attracting Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne to Saudi Arabia with an extravagant contract.
According to TEAMtalk, the club is willing to make an extraordinary offer, reportedly prepared to pay De Bruyne an incredible £1 million per week.
This represents a substantial increase from his current wage of £400,000.
However, despite this financial allure, there is uncertainty regarding De Bruyne’s decision, as he has previously expressed reluctance to leave Europe for a move to the Middle East.
The midfielder’s contract with Manchester City is set to expire in the summer of 2025.
The report also indicates that the club management is hesitant to offer Kevin De Bruyne a contract extension, primarily due to concerns about his recent injury record and advancing age.
This season alone, he has missed six matches due to a hamstring issue, and he was sidelined for 41 games last year.
As a result, Man City are shifting its focus toward younger talents in preparation for a new era at the Etihad.
Ronaldo is reportedly playing a pivotal role in the pursuit of De Bruyne, viewing the Belgian playmaker as a priority signing for Al-Nassr next summer.
With significant influence and stature within the club, Ronaldo’s advice has encouraged Al-Nassr to push forward with their plans to bring De Bruyne to the Middle East.
Al-Nassr’s pursuit of De Bruyne reflects the Saudi Pro League’s ongoing ambition to attract top talent from around the world.
While they may face competition from MLS’s expansion outfit, San Diego FC, the American side is expected to find it challenging to match the financial power of the SPL.
