Saudi Arabia Club Al-Ittihad has pulled out from Signing Manchester City Star after the Club requested for £100 million, personal agreement reached with the player but deal has been Cancelled
Consequently, what happened?
The last 12 months of the 33-year-old playmaker’s deal at Etihad Stadium are already underway. Teams in the high-spending Saudi Pro League have expressed interest in signing the Belgium international, but no extension has been agreed upon as of yet.
THE LARGER IMAGE
Al-Ittihad, who previously signed Fabinho, N’Golo Kante, and Karim Benzema, were eager to sign the contemporary legend De Bruyne. The six-time Premier League champion considered a big offer they had on the table acceptable.
WERE YOU AWARENESS?
However, transfer analyst Rudy Galetti is saying that Al-Ittihad are leaving because they are not willing to pay the amount Manchester City is demanding. There have been rumors that the Blues are holding out for more than £50 million ($64 million), but an offer of £25 million ($32 million) is reportedly on the table.
Next?
Al-Ittihad think they have enough talented midfield alternatives to get by for the time being, despite the fact that Houssem Aouar has already been signed. If De Bruyne keeps moving toward free agency, he may be back on their recruiting radar in 2025.
