Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne has revealed he is open to a big-money move to Saudi Arabia.
The Belgian midfielder, who has one year left on his contract, has discussed the possibility of moving abroad with his family. His wife, Michelle, is open to the idea.
De Bruyne is now contemplating his next move and is expected to be a target for the Saudi Pro League, either now or in 2025.

Speaking to Het Laatste Nieuws, De Bruyne said, “Saudi? At my age, you have to be open to everything. If I play there for two years, I will be able to earn an incredible amount of money. Before that, I had to play football for 15 years to potentially earn the same amount.”
He continued, “For my wife, an exotic adventure is okay. I have to think about my future, and these are conversations we are increasingly having as a family. I still have one year left on my contract, so I have to consider what could happen.”
De Bruyne also mentioned his son, saying, “My eldest, Mason, is now eight years old and knows nothing but England. He also asks how long I will play for City. Once the moment comes, we will have to deal with it in a certain way.”
Former teammates Riyad Mahrez and Aymeric Laporte both joined Saudi clubs last summer, and this year could be City’s last chance to recoup a transfer fee for De Bruyne.
