Kevin De Bruyne, the playmaker for Manchester City, has opted to reject a substantial offer of £1 million per week from Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad this summer.
After careful consideration and discussions with his family, the Belgian international has decided to remain with the Premier League champions for the time being.
Laurent Blanc, the manager of Al-Ittihad, had expressed optimism about the club’s prospects of securing De Bruyne’s services. Despite this, reports from the UK Mirror indicate that De Bruyne will stay with Manchester City for at least another year.
The decision is influenced by concerns related to his family, particularly regarding the potential disruption to the education of their eldest son, Mason Milian.
At 33 years old, De Bruyne is entering the final year of his current contract with Manchester City. Despite the lucrative offer from Al-Ittihad, his commitment to the team and family considerations have led him to choose stability and continuity with Pep Guardiola’s squad for the immediate future.
