The Belgian playmaker is among the latest to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-extortionate-transfer-fee-man-city-kevin-de-bruyne-saudi-pro-league/blt8667701e9561a395" target="_blank">see a switch to the Middle East speculated on</a>. De Bruyne has entered the final year of his contract at the Etihad Stadium, with the reigning Premier League champions yet to agree fresh terms.

WHAT HAPPENED?

There has been talk of De Bruyne bringing a nine-year stint with City to a close. After taking in over 380 appearances for the Citizens, helping them to 15 trophies along the way, few would begrudge the 33-year-old an <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/silly-money-kevin-de-bruyne-reveals-what-take-leave-man-city-saudi-arabia-transfer-interest/bltffba4a632c39ad80" target="_blank">opportunity to sign a lucrative deal elsewhere</a>.

De Bruyne has, however, offered no indication that he is looking for a way out of Manchester, and <a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1815076554201866487" target="_blank">Fabrizio Romano</a> claims there is no substance to the rumours of a transfer being close.
