JAKARTA - Manchester City is seriously releasing midfielder Kevin De Bruyne to Saudi Arabia. There are four Saudi Arabian clubs hunting for De Bruyne. They are ready to pay dearly.

Man City had the opportunity to sell veteran players at high prices. Although De Bruyne still made a high contribution to The Citizens after recovering from a hamstring injury, the offer from the Saudi Arabian club was indeed very tempting.

Moreover, last season's treble winner also successfully sold his players, Riyad Mahrez and Aymeric Laporte, to Saudi Arabian clubs.

Now, De Bruyne will be released because four top clubs from the Saudi Arabian Pro League, namely Al Hilal, Al Nassr, Al Ittihad and Al Expert, are already hunting for him.

Man City also set a price of 100 million or approximately 1.9 trillion rupiah for the purchase of this 32-year-old midfielder. The request appears to be accepted by one of the clubs.

This is certainly a lucrative sale. When will it be selling players who are already above three at a high price. Moreover, De Bruyne's contract is only one year away.

So, this is the right time to sell this Belgian national team player. You see, De Bruyne will be free of transfer if his contract is not renewed by the club.

De Bruyne himself has continued to contribute since returning to play after resting for a long time due to surgery for his injury.

He immediately became the backbone of Man City by scoring two goals and making seven assists.

News of De Bruyne's recruitment plan by Saudi Arabian clubs has emerged when Man City conducts training in the Middle East.

At that time, the Director of Sports for the Saudi Arabian Pro League, Michael Emenalo, was invited to watch Man City's training which was preparing to appear at the Club World Cup.

Emenelo is a former Chelsea Technical Director. In 2012, he played a role in bringing De Bruyne to Chelsea from Genk. Emenalo's presence is said to be related to De Bruyne's recruitment plan.

De Bruyne was less successful at Chelsea so he was loaned to Werder Bremen. He was then recruited by VfL Wolfsburg in 2014. However, De Bruyne was only one season in Wolfsburg before being recruited by Man City.

Returning to the Premier League, he achieved great success in Man City. De Bruyne also won the Premier League five times, Champions League once, FA Cup twice, and Carabao Cup five times.
