Cristiano Ronaldo could get his wish in 2025 as Al-Nassr are reportedly confident in signing Man City’s Kevin De Bruyne next summer when his contract expires at the Etihad Stadium.
A report from Mundo Deportivo last week revealed that Ronaldo is actively encouraging Al-Nassr to present a lucrative $1m-a-week offer to De Bruyne in 2025, a move the superstar believes the Belgian would find difficult to refuse.
The former Real Madrid star sees the midfielder as a signing that would transform the Saudi Pro League team as the Portuguese international has yet to win anything meaningful since moving to the Middle East.
The 33-year-old is one of the best creative talents in world football and his presence at the Riyadh-based club would benefit Ronaldo massively.
De Bruyne is set to become a free agent in 2025 as his contract at Man City is set to expire. The Premier League champions will sit down for talks over a new deal but given his age, that will likely be a short-term offer, in addition to a reduction in his current salary.
That could see the Belgian opt for a move to Saudi Arabia having achieved everything possible with Man City, while also producing 103 goals and 171 assists across 388 games for the Manchester outfit.
