I dont really think Kevin De Bruyne is gonna get out from Manchester City this season for me he is gonna remain for at least two seasons more, he is still at very high level and with hunger to win more things, the only thing that can male him get out is Guardiola bringing much more younger blood but i dont see it happening.

I don't think Pep Guardiola is ready to release Kevin De Bruyne anytime soon, especially considering that the player's contract will be ending in 2025. We can be quite certain that he will remain in Manchester City until then. Pep Guardiola has mentioned in his recent comments, as reported by Goal.com, that he would not influence the player's decision to leave. Guardiola stated that he would not interfere with Kevin De Bruyne's departure unless the player himself decides to leave. It seems that De Bruyne may wish to stay in the club and retire at the Etihad Stadium, but, the decision lies with the player. It's also worth noting the interest shown by MLS and SPL in the talented player as they have indicated their interests for him after he leaves the Premier League.

SPL never tries to take football away from Europe, and this is completely wrong. The SPL was only interested in achieving immediate success by bringing in many European players in the hope that viewers would be able to change their league immediately, which totally failed considering that it's very hard to change people's habits. SPL wants to try a short process that will help EPL's performance improve even more through buying as many european trophies as possible but this doesn't even work. .
It aims to be as popular as the European League, but it has failed because the atmosphere will never be the same as the European competition. It was a concerted effort by SPL clubs to bring in a large number of European players.

The fact that the return received by a Saudi Pro League club was insufficient to justify the amount of money spent by this league thus far and it's not even worthy with what has already gained by the league overall. That is why the decision was made to halt the money from being spent even more on the european players totally right. Saudi Arabia has decided to stop spending money on new players in the European competition because they were only losing money as a result. The results aren't even comparable to what used to attract many European players to the league. I predicted that it would be pointless to bring some old players to the Saudi Pro League by offering them all extremely high salaries.

Suaid Pro League should try to learn how to invest more in the domestic league rather than doing crazy things like that, which caused the Saudi Pro League to lose billions of dollars in player purchases.
I wholeheartedly supported the decision to stop it.

The SPL has been in existence in a while and they thought of ways to get global and one of thw way they thought of was using their money to get what they want. They gave European players some huge salaries and placed them on huge contracts too. This yes to am extent paid ofd more especially during the forst period but now it’s seeming they’re spending outta proportion. The decision has been made to stop this outrageous signing and yes, I feel the outrageous signing should be stopped.

They should go for European players but with reasonable amount of money and not a very loud amount that will be shaking the world because the returns o the club might not be able to keep up with the players salary. And then you start hearing court cases here and there which is real bad for the image of the league they’re trying to build. They have gotten the media presence they need now they should try working on the league to grow by developing local players and recruiting better training facilities and facilitators as this will be pretty easier and cheaper.

 Building the local players could even attract European clubs and them that’s bringing in more money for the league in general. It’s not pretty cool when money is lost and mot enough is coming in this means the business is bad so the decision to stop the bizarre purchase is really understood and now they should follow up this decision with a great investment on local football. They have gotten the media presence they needed and they can now work on that especially as the FIFA Club World Cup is about to begin.

Kelvin de Bruyne is an important player in the Manchester City squad, so Manchester City will not just let him leave the squad, especially since he is now in his best form. We can see that when Manchester City had to play without the presence of Kevin de Bruyne, they experienced a little problem when attacking because usually Kevin de Bruyne was the mastermind of Manchester City's attacks. He is creative in sending passes so that his teammates can use them to score goals.

Pep Guardiola also definitely wants to see him in the squad because he is one of the mainstay players for this coach. Even if he leaves, then I don't think the SPL is his goal, I think he will choose a big and competitive league. He will still stay at Manchester City and help Manchester City to achieve further success. He has become a key player for Manchester City's game, so there is no reason for Manchester City to sell him to another club. Kevin de Bruyne's contribution is still very much needed.

Being 32 years old does not make Kevin De Bruyne lose his performance and also his role at Manchester City, at this time De Bruyne is no longer as fast as he used to run but like other great players De Bruyne now relies more on his experience and technique in playing smart to overcome his physical fatigue, and that is what makes De Bruyne still gain the trust of Guardiola in the Manchester City main squad,  But I think now his injuries will make him slowly fall out of Guardiola's options.

Football is not far from being a business, so when you say he will stay two more seasons at Manchester City of course I disagree, because after all business De Bruyne will be able to generate a big income for Manchester City if they sell him next season while he can still maintain his playing form, so far reportedly Manchester City are starting to look for successors to replace De Bruyne and Alex Baena from Villareal and Florian Wirtz from Leverkusen is reportedly a target for Guardiola next season to be recruited, besides the small chance of De Bruyne staying at Manchester City next season because currently they have pegged 100 million euros for the Saudi Arabian team who want to sign him, so far reportedly Manchester City have received bid proposals from Al Nassr, Al Ahli, Al Ittihad and Al Hilal to sign De Bruyne next season,  So of course Manchester City will benefit greatly right now than Release him on a free transfer in the summer of 2025.

The news about Manchester City wanting to sell KDB is official news, they do have serious intentions in this matter. There are rumors that Manchester City will bring in players from other clubs to become KDB's successor at Manchester City and so far I have heard 2 names, they are Alex Baena (Villarreal) and Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen).

Ok, stop talking about other leagues, let's focus on the SPL, from the official news about KDB, it's reported that there are several SPL clubs who are interested in signing him, I wonder which team it is?

[temple]

The interest in Saudis for buying more superstar players is not going to end at all.
I see some people they say the Saudis will stop investing in football and instead, they will start paying attention to the other things to invest in their country, but I don't think if they do that because even now I see some superstars and famous players are linked to the Saudis for the next season.
Other than some players like Salah and coaches like Mourinho, now it seems they want to start sending offers for Kevin De Bruyne the key player of Manchester City. However, Kevin De Bruyne leaving Manchester City can definitely damage the team but there is still the possibility for him to leave and accept the huge money he can earn in Saudi Arabia.

I have heard about this rumor that they want to sign Kevin De Bruyne a while ago, but in my opinion De Bruyne is not the typical player who is waiting for an offer from Saudi Arabia to leave his beloved Manchester City and earn some more money. He is one of the best paid players in Manchester City, which I guess is quite ok already. Of course the Saudi Professional clubs can raise this like 4x or 5x, but do you guys think that De Bruyne is the kind of guy who wants to live in Saudi Arabia? I think he also sees what's going on there with Ronaldo or Neymar. Nobody is interested in these guys anymore. Manchester City would definitely want to keep him for another three years and I doubt he would be willing to let that opportunity go and instead take the money.

Pep Guardiola knows his players and he's absolutely placing his trust on them, because they're the shining lights and pillars of the club, without them, the outstanding form of the team will dissappear without a second phase. Manchester City most important player, Kelvin De Bruyne is going nowhere this season and it have been a great benefits for these opponents to tied points with Manchester City. The shocking part is watching Arsenal claiming winning points against Manchester City,  because Kelvin De Bruyne was injured and leaving Pep Guardiola in a helpless situation.

[Webetcoins]

Yep. Al Shabab is only a middle-class team, they looks to get difficulty to play against Al Hilal. With the stats of the last 5 matches of Al Shabab, it is very unlikely to steal points from Al Hilal. So, I am optimistic that Al Hilal will get full points again, they will win the match. Sure, we can say that Al Hilal already wins the SPL for this season.

Even when Al Hilal plays against top teams they still end up winning the match and extending their lead even further and it is now like they are unstoppable in the league. It should be getting boring for them already as no team seems to be to the task to stop them, they have been so good this season that it is certain they will end up winning thee trophy. Can Al Shabab stop them from getting maximum points? I don’t think so, they have been inconsistent in their recent matches and need more than luck if they want to win Al Hilal but this is football where nothing is impossible so Al Hilal also needs to be at their best too if they don’t want to end up dropping points this time around.

Well, because they are the top ranked team, sure even if they play good teams they win because there aren't any better teams than them at the moment, doesn't mean that they can't lose, or won't lose, they can lose even to the worst team if they are unlucky and not caring, but if they want to win then the yare the best team and there are no other team in the league that can beat them when Hilal tries to win.

That is also proven with the league results as we look at the table, they won and won and won, that is just what they do, having probably one of the most dominant seasons I have seen. They will probably keep this up until the end of the season, but I do not know how they will be looking at the start of next season.

We don't know whether De Bryune is interested to play in Saudi League or not. As far as I know, there is no official statement from him about this. If he still wants to have a good career in a competitive league, he must stay in Europe. Even if Man City won't extend his contract in the next year, De Bruyne can move to another team in Europe. It won't be difficult for him to find out a new team because many teams are interested to sign him. Anyway, it seems you still believe in his career at Man City. But we heard that Man City plans to sell him and wants to sign a younger player to replace his position.

Kevin De Bruyne is currently 32 years old with his contract is going to expire after the end of the 2025, and he is not extending which is surely wired because he wants to leave this club and too many others are interested even Saudi League and MLS are also having interest but currently nothing is clear about his future with most chances he will leave the club after completing his contract and will go for any other club but most chances we will have him in Europe or MLS instead of the Saudi League because he is not going to have anything positive from here.
Suddenly things are taking good changes specially while we have announcement they are not going to buy any new big player due to heavily loses which is also surprising, but we can have changes with most chances. We have to wait unite end of this season for all real time updates.

Anything can happen and it is possible that Kevin De Bruyne will join the Saudi Arabian league. However, I agree with you that Kevin de Bruyne is still at his best level and he is still the difference when he is on the field so there is a possibility that he will stay longer with Manchester City. But seeing as his contract has not been renewed by Manchester City, there is a big possibility that he will be sold. If that happens, Pep Guardiola has already strategized the strength of his team with young players.

Even so, I think quite a lot of big teams in Europe would be interested in using Kevin De Bruyne services if he was sold in the future. But there are rumors that Manchester City will definitely ask for a high price from every team that wants to recruit Kevin De Bruyne. Apart from that, if Kevin De Bruyne leaves or joins a Saudi Arabian league team then it is possible that he will not be as popular as when he was in Europe. Because we see that many top European players are starting to lose their popularity when they join a Saudi Arabian league team like Benzema.

Maybe they rely on other clubs hoping to play with higher aspirations. Basically those who perform well don't get a chance to play on the field for a long time, because all the players that Manchester City Club has are basically the best and most experienced players. Because all the players who are on the extra list are basically transfer to other clubs, they will definitely get to eat as stars. And will be diligent enough to improve his performance, which is why many players move to other clubs to fulfill their careers.

I agree with you there is no reason for Pep to release this player, we know that Kevin de Bruyne is one of the most important players in the Manchester City squad. I still remember when this player was injured, Manchester City's performance dropped dramatically so obviously Pep doesn't want this to happen, unless he gets a new player to replace that position.

Indeed, based on age, Kevin de Bruyne is an old player with 32 years old this means that is the ideal time to join Saudi Pro League but he still has other considerations before deciding to move to this league. Please note, if Manchester City won 2 important titles this season Premier League and Champions League then there is a possibility that Kevin de Bruyne will move to this league because he has got all the titles so he has a reason to find new challenges in other leagues.

Kelvin De Bruyne is still contracted to Manchester City even beyond the current season and considering his importance at the club, I don't think Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola will allow De Bruyne leave the club in the summer and if he must leave the club, I also do not think that he'll joining a club in Saudi Arabia.
Kelvin De Bruyne still have a lot to offer the club but considering the fact that his age have increased significantly while his strength and power reduced, I don't think he'll be as influential as he used to be when next season kicks off.

It's hard to predict this. I meant there are two reasons for this transfer will not happen.

1. According to the latest statement from saudi pro league below]

Saudi Arabia’s football clubs will not repeat their footballing spending spree this summer, after the Kingdom made plans to reduce losses and build a more sustainable domestic transfer market.

2. De Bruyne is never showing interest in playing in the Saudi pro league. it means that if he never says yes to the Saudi pro league transfer. Pep has also been instructred to stay, which means the City will probably extend his contract much longer because de Bruyne was also a very important midfielder for the club.

I think that those reasons will be the sense reasons to think that if de bruyne will not go there.

Will saudi spend another 100 millions to get him from manchester city? Im not even believing it to happen soon. De bruyne will stay in manchester city till he will retire. I strongly believe bruyne is here to stay. No reason for him to leave from the club as soon as possible.

See the present state of Manchester City, they're suffering without them. Saudi Pro League clubs will place sights on key players and at the end of the day, they end up not accomplishing their targets, it's becoming more stressing and set up an alarm for everyone. Pep Guardiola knows his players and he's looking forward to add more promising players, he's very tactical. Kelvin De Bruyne have not accomplished the basic necessities, he still have 3-4 years to play European football because he's a key man and doing the ultimate jobs.

Even though the teams from the SPL are targeting several star players, if the star players are not willing to leave Europe then the SPL will not get these players no matter how hard they try. Pep will not easily let KDB go to the SPL because we know KDB is a key player that Man City has, even though he is no longer young, KDB's appearance is still quite good. When KDB was injured, Haaland seemed to be having difficulties at Man City, but after KDB returned, Man City came back strong in all the matches they played, I think keeping KDB for the next 3-4 years is not a problem because KDB now has 32 years old.

It true, De Bruyne is one of the main players in the Manchester City squad and De Bruyne presence has had big influence on Manchester City success in winning every match they have played.
Even though Manchester City could get large amount of money, let alone sell De Bruyne to Saudi team, I not sure Pep would do it, unless it was decision taken directly by De Bruyne.
It just that it looks like De Bruyne will never leave Manchester City until his contract actually expires, he can earn big salary when playing in the SPL but he is of course much more concerned with titles in his final retirement years than chasing money.
Moreover, if De Bruyne wanted to leave then he could have done so since the previous transfer window and he could have played with one of the Saudi teams but in reality De Bruyne did not do any of that.
This season, Manchester City has big chance of winning the Premier League and UCL titles, so it can be confirmed that when Manchester City actually gets the title, De Bruyne will be even more confident in staying and spending his contract period fighting for the title next season.

If Pep Guardiola remains at Manchester City, of course he will try to keep Kevin De Bruyne because this is a key player who gives balance to City's game, but the opportunity for KDB to leave Manchester City and join one of the clubs in the Saudi pro league is wide open because there are reportedly concerns about himself that City will not extend his contract at City.
We know that Manchester City is not a club that retains their players who are over 30 years old, and for KDB the opportunity to get a bigger salary from a club in the Saudi pro league will be available while he is still under contract at City, or it could be that KDB leaves City because he was starting to get tired of the competition there which was very tight, and it was impossible for him to get a fantastic salary if he remained at City.
However, I haven't read which clubs are interested in KDB, but if he leaves City in the near future it will certainly be news that will attract a lot of attention.
