One of the most prestigious midfielders in English football, Kevin De Bruyne, has announced that he will leave Manchester City at the end of the season. The 33-year-old player, who is the captain of the Belgium national team, has a contract with the club that will expire this summer, making him a free agent.
Saudi and MLS clubs in action
The main contenders for De Bruyne are reported to be Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr club and the Inter Miami team in the USA. According to local sources, both clubs are looking to attract the player with a record salary and a central role in their squad.
"I want to play with Ronaldo"
The Belgian playmaker openly stated in an interview who he prefers to play with:
"I would love to play in the same club as Ronaldo. He is truly exceptional as a forward. By providing him with the ball on the field, you can contribute to many victories," Kevin told journalists.
This statement may indicate that the player is more inclined towards Saudi Arabia, particularly to the Al-Nassr club where Ronaldo is participating.
