Kevin De Bruyne drops a bomb hinting at a transfer to Saudi Arabia

Kevin De Bruyne has admitted the riches available in Saudi Arabia may be too much to turn down as he nears the end of his Manchester City career.
The midfielder, who turns 33 later in June, is approaching the final year of his contract with City and is one of the key targets for Saudi Pro League sides alongside Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah.
Talking to Het Laatste NieuwsDe Bruyne has admitted that he is already thinking about life after City and revealed that he has already received permission from his wife, Michele, to take the family overseas.
“For Michele, casual fun is fine,” he explained. “These are also the conversations we are increasingly having as a family.
“I have a year left on my contract, so I have to think about what could happen. My oldest child is eight years old and he doesn’t know anything except England. He also asks how long I will play for him at City. When the time comes, we will have to deal with it in some way.”
Pressed directly on the interest from Saudi Arabia, De Bruyne admitted: “At my age, you have to be open to everything.
“You are talking about an amazing amount of money that could be the end of my career. Sometimes you have to think about that. If I play there for two years, I will be able to earn an amazing amount of money. Before that I had to play football for 15 years and I may not have reached that amount.
“You have to think about what that might mean next. But right now I haven’t had to think about that.”
