Kevin De Bruyne has revealed his preference for playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo over Lionel Messi. When asked to choose between the two football legends, De Bruyne opted for Ronaldo, citing his traditional striker role.
De Bruyneโs reasoning stems from his own position as a playmaker, suggesting that he would thrive with a target man like Ronaldo. In contrast, Messiโs playmaking abilities might create redundancy with De Bruyneโs own skills.
This insight into De Bruyneโs preferences might hint at his future plans, particularly with his contract set to expire in the summer. Rumors have linked him to both the Saudi Pro League and Major League Soccer, where he could potentially face Messi or Ronaldo again.
Despite struggling with fitness issues in recent years, De Bruyne has started 11 Premier League games this season, contributing two goals and six assists. His future remains uncertain, with potential suitors including Saudi clubs and New York City FC in the MLS.
