Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly urged the Al-Nassr board to make a compelling offer to Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne, aiming to bring the Belgian midfielder to Saudi Arabia. De Bruyne, widely regarded as one of the best attacking midfielders in world football, is out of contract at the end of the season, and Ronaldo believes his arrival could have a transformative impact on the Saudi Pro League.
Since joining Manchester City from Wolfsburg nearly a decade ago, De Bruyne has won numerous titles, including six Premier League trophies, a Champions League, two FA Cups, and five Carabao Cups. With 103 goals and 171 assists in 388 appearances, he has cemented his legacy as one of the club’s greatest-ever players.
Despite his success at City, De Bruyne’s future remains uncertain as his contract expires next summer. According to *The Sun*, Ronaldo has personally encouraged Al-Nassr to go “all out” for De Bruyne, seeing him as a key figure who could elevate the league. Last year, De Bruyne’s representatives were reportedly approached discreetly, but the midfielder remains content in Manchester and has not expressed any desire to leave.
However, the financial offer from Saudi Arabia could be difficult to resist. Al-Nassr is reportedly prepared to offer De Bruyne a staggering £1 million-a-week salary, plus a £50 million signing-on bonus. Manchester City, while keen to keep De Bruyne, are aware they cannot compete with the financial might of Saudi clubs.
De Bruyne, currently sidelined with an injury, previously commented on his future in August, saying, “I haven’t spoken to anyone… There has been a lot of noise, but I’ve not entertained any of it.” Talks between City and De Bruyne are expected once he recovers, though the lucrative proposal from Al-Nassr looms large over the negotiations.
