Kevin De Bruyne Clarifies Future Amid Al Nassr Rumors with Cristiano Ronaldo. After days of swirling rumors linking Kevin De Bruyne to a move to Al Nassr alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, the Belgian midfielder himself has personally addressed the speculation and provided clarity about his future.
The news had caused a stir across Europe, with reports of Saudi Arabian owners sending a delegation to De Bruyne’s residence to convince the talented midfielder to join Al Nassr. However, the 32-year-old recently spoke up about his current situation, including his recovery from knee surgery, and debunked the rumors of a move to Al Nassr.
Quoted by Manchester Evening News, De Bruyne stated, “I’m feeling very good, the recovery process is going well, and I believe I’ll be back sooner than expected.”
“The representatives from Al Nassr did speak to me about their desires, and I understand that. Ronaldo is an incredible player, and I would love to play alongside him, given his versatility and goal-scoring abilities.”
De Bruyne emphasized that Ronaldo is the best player in the world at all times. He added, “I know that’s the reason why people speculated about me joining the Saudi Pro League to play alongside him, but I have my own choices.”
“I love Man City and want to continue playing at the Etihad for a longer time, before retiring with this club. Of course, they can buy me on FIFA if they want.”
De Bruyne’s firm affirmation brings joy to the fans of Manchester City, as his contributions extend beyond the pitch, with a significant role within the team’s dressing room.
Moreover, Pep Guardiola’s success and the achievements of the team to date owe a great deal to the 32-year-old midfielder. De Bruyne’s commitment to retiring at Etihad is truly fantastic and secures a bright future for both him and the club.
