For Saudi clubs, Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is almost the most coveted player. So much so that the Belgian has been offered a cosmic sum.
According to The Daily Star, Saudi Arabia's Al-Ittihad offered the reigning English champions a three-year contract with a salary of £156 million. That is, de Bruyne would receive exactly one million pounds per week.
The ground for a potential transfer of the Belgian was probed by the head coach of the Middle Eastern club Laurent Blanc, who for this purpose "recruited" N'Golo Kante and Karim Benzema to convince de Bruyne to move to Saudi Arabia.
However, all manipulations proved unsuccessful. The Belgian will continue to represent Manchester City, which also influenced his conversation with his wife.
Earlier it became known that the 33-year-old midfielder does not let go to Saudi Arabia and his manager Pep Guardiola.
