Kevin De Bruyne has said he may consider leaving Manchester City due to the “incredible money” on offer at a Saudi club, in a potential move that would be a blow to the champions.
De Bruyne joined City in August 2015 and is regarded as one of the champions’ greatest ever players. Yet the Belgian will turn 33 this month and realizes that time is ticking on his career.
“I still have one year left on my contract, so I have to think about what could happen,” he told Belgian newspaper HLN. “My eldest is now eight years old and knows nothing but England. He also asks how long I will play for City. Once the moment comes, we will have to deal with it in a certain way.
De Bruyne earns around £400,000 a week, making him the highest paid player in English football. But the sums on offer in Saudi Arabia are tempting.
“At my age you have to be open to everything,” he said. “You’re talking about incredible amounts of money in what could be the end of my career. Sometimes you have to think about it. If I play there for two years, I will be able to earn an incredible amount of money. Before that I had to play football for 15 years. I may not have reached that amount yet.
“Then you have to think about what it might mean next. But right now I haven’t had to think about it.”
