The Belgian midfielder, a pivotal figure for City, is under contract until the summer of 2025, providing the club with a strong position against potential suitors.

A Hefty Price Tag

Despite the allure of the Saudi Pro League, which has become a new destination for several high-profile players, City is not actively looking to part ways with De Bruyne.

Any consideration of a transfer would require a bid exceeding £100 million, underscoring the value City places on their star player.

Currently, there have been no new contract discussions for the 32-year-old, but his recent performances could prompt a change in this stance.

De Bruyne's Impressive Form

Since returning from a hamstring injury, De Bruyne has been in exceptional form, contributing significantly to City's campaign. With two goals and eight assists in just nine appearances, his influence on the team's success is undeniable.

This stellar form makes him an invaluable asset to the city, further complicating any potential departure.

Potential High-Profile Departure

Should De Bruyne decide to move to Saudi Arabia, he would follow in the footsteps of former teammates Riyad Mahrez and Aymeric Laporte, who made similar moves last summer. Such a transfer would see De Bruyne join a league that's rapidly becoming a hotspot for football's elite talents.

As City prepares for their upcoming fixtures, all eyes will be on De Bruyne, not just for his performances on the pitch but also for any developments regarding his future with the club.
