Kevin De Bruyne has hinted that he may consider moving to Saudi Arabia in the future due to the massive financial rewards that come with such a move.
Several former Manchester City players, including Aymeric Laporte, Riyad Mahrez, and now Joao Cancelo, have already joined the Saudi Pro League, which is committed to raising the level of competition in their division.
However, many top players at European clubs, including those at Manchester City, prefer to stay in Europe, especially those who play regularly under Pep Guardiola in trophy-winning teams.
For instance, Mateo Kovacic has become a key player for City, starting three consecutive Premier League matches and consistently performing at a high level, making him one of the first names on the team sheet.
Despite being 30, the Croatian international continues to prove that he has plenty of top-level football left in him.
Kovacic seems content with life at Manchester City, particularly after their Premier League title win last season.
However, according to CBS Sports, Al-Nassr and Cristiano Ronaldo view Kovacic as a potential “transformational” signing for their team.
Having played together at Real Madrid, Ronaldo is pushing for Kovacic to join Al-Nassr, with the Saudi club reportedly willing to offer a weekly salary exceeding $1 million (£759,650) to secure his services, potentially targeting him for a January transfer.
