Manchester City’s Kevin de Bruyne has expressed that he is “open to everything” regarding a potential move to Saudi Arabia.
The 32-year-old Belgian playmaker, who has one year remaining on his contract at City, has won six Premier League titles and the Champions League since joining in 2015.
De Bruyne mentioned that the “incredible” contracts offered in the Saudi Pro League might be appealing as he nears the end of his career and noted that he has discussed his future with his wife.
“For Michele, an exotic adventure is OK. These are also conversations that we are increasingly having as a family,” De Bruyne told Belgian broadcaster VTM, according to newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws.
“I still have one year of contract, so I have to think about what can happen.
“My eldest [child] is now eight years old and knows nothing but England. He also asks how long I will play at City. Once the time comes, we will have to deal with it in a certain way.
“At my age, you have to be open to everything. You talk about unbelievable amounts in what may be the end of my career. Sometimes you have to think about that.”
De Bruyne remarked that spending two years in Saudi Arabia would allow him to “earn an incredible amount of money.”
The Belgium captain, currently preparing for Euro 2024, missed nearly five months of last season due to injury. Despite this, City secured their fourth consecutive league title, with De Bruyne making just 26 appearances across all competitions.
