Because of the generational riches he may obtain by moving there one day, Kevin De Bruyne said that Saudi Arabia might be a place where he plays once.
The Saudi Pro League is where former Manchester City players like Riyad Mahrez, Aymeric Laporte, and currently Joao Cancelo play football.
The top football league in Saudi Arabia appears committed to continuously raising the bar for its division.
Nonetheless, most players who are on the best European clubs in the game or who play at the Etihad Stadium would rather remain in Europe.
Ronaldo hopes to sign Mateo Kovacic with Al-Nassr.
particularly if they are a permanent fixture on Pep Guardiolaโs team, where they might be constants in championship-winning campaigns.
ADVANCED CITY STORIES
Mateo Kovacic, for example, has developed into a vital member of Cityโs squad this season, starting three straight Premier League games and performing well enough to be among the first players listed on the team sheet.
The Croatian international, who is thirty years old, is demonstrating that he has many more years of elite football ahead of him.
The former Chelsea midfielder should thus, in principle, be content with his life at Manchester City, especially after winning the Premier League the previous year.
But according to a CBS Sports report, Kovacicโs acquisition would be โtransformativeโ for Al-Nassr and Cristiano Ronaldo on the inside.
Notably, the two had previously played for the same Real Madrid team.
It is said that Al-Nassr is interested in signing the maestro from Linz in January and is prepared to pay him more than $1 million (ยฃ759,650) each week.
