De Bruyne’s move to Saud Arabia
The Saudi Pro League was planning to increase its efforts to sign the Champions League winner this summer, and De Bruyne was considered one of their main targets.
The Belgian has made 382 appearances for City, contributing 170 assists and 102 goals in addition to winning 15 trophies throughout his tenure.

According to journalist Rudy Galetti, It is said that Al-Ittihad and De Bruyne have reached an agreement about a transfer.
The report also stated that talks on a transfer fee for the 33-year-old are allegedly still going on between Al-Ittihad and City.
Al-Ittihad, who has N'Golo Kante, Karim Benzema, and Fabinho among their ranks, has named former France and Manchester United defender Laurent Blanc as their new manager.
The Public Investment Fund-owned team, however, only managed to finish sixth in the league, more than 40 points behind league leaders Al-Hilal, after spending heavily during the summer.

This came after they had won the Pro League the season before, and Nuno Espirito Santo was fired as Al-Ittihad's manager for the 2023–24 campaign.
De Bruyne, however, would be a tremendous signing for the Saudi Arabian team as they look to challenge for the title next season.
