Manchester City has even decided on the amount of sales to accommodate Kevin DeBrouiner's transfer to Saudi Arabia.

The Manchester Evening News of the United Kingdom shed light on the rumor of a transfer of Dubrowner on the 7th (Korea time) '50 million (about 88 billion won) question about Saudi Arabia's interest and Dubrowner's future'.

Dubrowner was born in 1991 and is still a midfielder representing the EPL despite being 33 years old. He has been a key player for Manchester City since joining the club in 2015. Manchester City, along with De Bruyne, have lifted a huge number of trophies, including six EPL wins, two FA Cup wins, five League Cup wins and one European Champions League victory.

Despite still showing off his best skills, it has been reported that De Bruyne is getting closer to moving to Saudi Arabia recently. Reporter Rudy Galetti, an expert in the European football transfer market, said on his personal SNS on the 4th that an oral agreement was reached between De Bruyne and RT Hard. The negotiating delegation and the club representative spoke with the player, who gave approval for the transfer. Now it's up to the club. Man City are open to letting him go,' he reported.

It has already been revealed in a recent interview that Derbroughner is open to a transfer to Saudi Arabia. In a recent interview with Belgian media HLN, he did not close the possibility of a transfer to Saudi Arabia. Rather, he argued, "If you are offered a ridiculous amount, it is also for my family, relatives, grandchildren, and friends." A huge offer might be chosen for the people around you.



Already in June, on the rumor of a transfer to Saudi Arabia "If you play for Saudi for two years, you will be able to make a lot of money. I played football for 15 years before that and maybe I haven't reached that amount yet. You have to think about what that meansDe Bruyne, who said he agreed to move to Saudi Arabia in the end, is more likely to leave the EPL stage this summer.

Manchester City's expected sales amount of Derbrowner has also appeared. Manchester Evening News reported that `The Browner is entering the final year of his contract, and speculation is rife about whether Manchester City will receive a transfer fee this summer or send him to a free agency in 2025' Man City will not consider how important the Browner is to them. If he wants to leave, he will allow it, and there are already ready alternative resources called Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez.



Then 'De Bruyne can still have a lot to offer Manchester City. Nevertheless, it is unlikely that he will agree to remain until after 2025. No wonder Manchester City will accept a huge transfer fee. If it's more than 50 million pounds, I'll accept it.'"

Manchester City's offer of £50 million is lower than the amount of the transfer fee that Tottenham can consider when selling Saudi Arabia after recently invoking the option to extend his contract with Son Heung-min. Tottenham had reportedly wanted 100 million pounds (about 170 billion won) for Son Heung-min's transfer fee. Considering the skills of Derbroughner and the actions of Saudi Arabia, it is not a very high demand.

Meanwhile, if Derbroughner's move really leads to Saudi Arabia, he is expected to follow superstar Ronaldo's path. Ronaldo wore a Saudi al-Nasr uniform in December 2022, signaling a full-fledged recruitment of European players in the Saudi league. Since then, many stars, including Neymar, N'Golo Kante and Karim Benzema, have headed to Saudi Arabia.

On the other hand, some players have taken a different path than Derbroughner. Son Heung-min announced that he would stay in the EPL instead of moving to Saudi Arabia. Son Heung-min's interest was only in the EPL, although he continued to receive attention recently. Other players who received attention, such as Manuel Neuer and Luca Modric, also considered staying in their teams or advancing to MLS, and did not have a choice to go to Saudi Arabia.

We don't know if Manchester City and Derbroughner will really choose to go to Saudi Arabia, but if they do, it's definitely a choice that will surprise a lot of fans.
