He didn’t make such a direct comment, he answered, when asked who he would like to become teammates with between Messi and Ronaldo that he would prefer to be teammates with Ronaldo because Messi is more of a playmaker just as himself and Ronaldo is more of a striker so as a playmaker all he needs is a striker and not a playmaker. He also mentioned that if he was opportuned to play alongside Ronaldo he might probably end up being the player with most assists in history because of Ronaldo’s clinicality.

Of course Al Nassr are linked to De Bruyne but I don’t think an official offer have been made but i do believe he is likely to join Al Nassr if an offer is submitted. It would be nice to see these two play together so we can witness some mind blowing combo, and if they eventually play together it would be a huge boost for the Saudi pro league.

De Bruyne is special and world class and i would love to see him partner with Ronaldo before they retire.

Whether he made that comment or not, never in the world would De Bruyne decide to go to Al-Nassr because Ronaldo is playing there. How ridiculous would that be? We are talking about one of the best midfielders in the world and that guy isn't a little kid anymore. Mbappe said that his idol once was Cristiano Ronaldo, but does anyone think that Mbappe would therefore go to Al-Nassr now because his dream as a child was to once play together with Ronaldo?

Seriously, but this is kindergarten in my opinion. Even thinking that is ridiculous. These grown up world stars follow their own path and if that path means crossing ways with Ronaldo, then so be it, but other than that they have their own careers and would never in their lifetime make such a decision. De Bruyne has definitely other plans for the next few years. I don't think the time has come for him to disappear into the desert of Saudi Arabia.

How old is De Bruyne? He is 32 years old bro so it’s just as you said he is not a little kid anymore so sooner or later he will get to a retirement age where he wouldn’t be valuable and relevant in Europe anymore and to continue playing he would have to decide whether he should retire or play in a league where he would be valued and relevant.

De Bruyne is already old and we can see that from the way he plays, it is obvious that he won’t play active football for a long time anymore just as it happens to other players. When a player gets to a retirement age all that is important to them is how they can make more money for their families when they retire so I don’t think De Bruyne would reject an offer from a Saudi team when he draws closer to retirement. It’s the best thing to do and Al Nassr is not a bad team, they have good quality players now and they are currently doing well so i don’t see any reason why De Bruyne wouldn’t want to join them.

Then open your eyes wide and see how much impact he has on the game. That is what counts, Ronaldo was old when he turned 32 and yet he was important enough to win titles for his team and with his team and the same applies to De Bruyne. He isn't getting tired of running and he has this sharp precision that nobody else has. I doubt that it is time for him to retire or to go to Saudi Arabia and waste some precious years of his privileged career.
