The possible and unexpected destiny of Kevin de Bruyne

Kevin de Bruyne faces his last months as a Manchester City player. The Belgian midfielder, a key piece in Pep Guardiola's era, will leave the Etihad Stadium at the end of the season. What has surprised the football world the most is not his departure, but his possible destination: the Second Division of Saudi Arabia. An unexpected decision that has generated astonishment among fans and experts.

Kevin de Bruyne to leave Manchester City

At 33 years old, the Belgian remains a world-class player, and many expected that, if he were to leave City, he would opt for a top-tier league in Europe or, alternatively, for a more common destination like the MLS. However, reports indicate that his future lies in a category that has not been the usual choice for big stars until now. The news has sparked various reactions, and it is still unknown what drove him to make this decision.

City, in turn, acknowledges that the end of their relationship with De Bruyne is near. After nearly a decade in Manchester, where he has won multiple titles and has been one of the team's driving forces, the club is already working on his replacement. Guardiola, aware that he will lose one of his most influential players, will have to find a way to restructure his midfield for the upcoming season.

Meanwhile, Saudi football continues to surprise the world with its signings. While most stars have so far joined the First Division, De Bruyne's potential move to a lower category would set an unexpected precedent. It remains to be seen whether this surprising move will be confirmed in the coming months.
