Cristiano Ronaldo pushes Al-Nassr to pursue Kevin De Bruyne

Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly urged Al-Nassr to pursue Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne, encouraging the club to make an offer too tempting to refuse.

Ronaldo, a longtime admirer of the Belgian midfielder, believes De Bruyne’s arrival would be a major coup for both Al-Nassr and the Saudi Pro League.

De Bruyne, 33, is out of contract at the end of the season.

Although he has shown no intention of leaving Manchester City, SunSport reports Al-Nassr are ready to offer a staggering £1 million per week, plus a £50 million signing bonus.

Despite being sidelined with an injury, De Bruyne remains a key figure for City, having contributed 103 goals and 171 assists in 388 appearances during his nine-year stint.

City’s relaxed stance regarding De Bruyne’s future suggests they intend to discuss a contract renewal, but it is unlikely they will match Al-Nassr’s financial power.

The midfielder has been a cornerstone of City’s success, winning six Premier League titles, the Champions League, and numerous other honours since joining in 2015.
