Cristiano Ronaldo wants Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne to join him at Al Nassr in 2025.
The Portugal superstar is keen for the Saudi Pro League giants to sign more European stars next year and City veteran De Bruyne is a rumoured option.
De Bruyne's current contract at the Etihad Stadium expires at the end of the 2024/25 season with no confirmation on his plans for a renewal in Manchester. The Belgium international was linked with moves to both the Saudi Pro League and MLS last summer.

The uncertainty over whether Pep Guardiola will sign a contract extension is also potentially factor in De Bruyne's thinking as he faces a key call on his future.
Kevin De Bruyne's Man City contract, salary, expiry
De Bruyne's deal in Manchester runs out in June 2025 and he is free to negotiate a with non-Premier League clubs from the start of 2025 if this situation does not change.
However, he will not be able to join a new team as a free agent until the summer, unless City take the incredibly unlikely step of releasing him from his contract.
De Bruyne is widely reported to be the highest-earning player in the Premier League with a weekly wage of around £400,000 ($523,000) and a renewal would probably come with a reduction in his basic salary.
