'My future' - £55m star of Liverpool's Premier League rivals reveals he's 'open' to shock transfer move

Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne has dropped a bombshell on his future in English football after admitting a move to Saudi Arabia may be an option.

The attacker has been arguably the league’s best player across the past six years in which Man City have dominated English football under Pep Guardiola. Over that time, they have won six titles in seven years, including the last four seasons.

Jurgen Klopp’s side in 2019/20 have been the only team who have been able to earn a title victory during that time and they also ran them extremely close on the final day of both of the 2018/19 and 2021/22 campaigns. Across that time, De Bruyne has been the leading playmaker in the division and has reached 112 assists in the Premier League alone across his career in England but his latest comments suggest his reign of terror could soon be over.

Speaking to media outlets in Belgium, he revealed that he is open to a move to the Middle East at this stage of his career. “Saudi? At my age you have to be open to everything. You're talking about incredible amounts of money in the last stage of my career, you have to think about that. For my wife, an exotic adventure is okay. I have to think about my future”, told @HLN_BE.

The news will get Liverpool fans excited as their new era begins. In fact, the reports that Guardiola may also depart at the end of next season could also be the trigger that begins a new era in the league. City are best placed with their squad and finances to continue to be a major player in England and Europe but the exit of a manager such as Guardiola could open the door for fresh title successes in the future.

De Bruyne could joins the likes of Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo, N’Golo Kante and Karim Benzema in the Saudi Pro League which was won by Al-Hilal, who went unbeaten across the 34-game campaign and were fired to victory by former Fulham forward Aleksandr Mitrovic who netted 28 goals.
