Is this just a rumor? Or it is a valid news?
I think it won't be easy to sign De Bruyne because he is the player who manages the attacking plan for Man City. No other players who can replace the role of De Bruyne. We must remember that Man City performance was decreasing a lot when De Bruyne got injury for some months. It means Man City can't performance with their best without De Bruyne.
I don't think Man City will put him on the transfer list. Man City still needs him for 2-3 next years. And there is no official statement from De Bruyne that he has a plan to leave Man City for the next season. He still has a contract with Man City until June 30, 2025. I believe De Bruyne will never leave Man City before his contract is over. So, Saudi teams only waste their time if they are trying to negotiate with De Bruyne for joining SPL in the next season.
Many times a great player proves his greatness with his absense. That's how people realize how crusial his role in his team. one of them is Kevin de Bruyne, his absence due to injury has been felt by the team in the past. His skillset and leadership on the field make him an invaluable asset to the club, and it's understandable that Manchester City would prioritize retaining him for the foreseeable future.
De Bruyne will continue to be a pivotal player for Manchester City in the foreseeable future. His contractual obligations and his integral role within the team make it improbable that he would seek a move elsewhere without substantial reasoning. Therefore, unless there are significant developments or statements indicating otherwise, it's safe to expect De Bruyne to remain a cornerstone of Manchester City's squad in the coming seasons.
