De Bruyne Tempted By Saudi Arabia Money
Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has admitted he is at the stage of his career where it will be difficult to turn down a big-money move to Saudi Arabia.
De Bruyne will turn 33 later this month and has one more year on his contract at the Etihad Stadium.
The former Chelsea midfielder has won it all since joining Manchester City in the summer of 2015, including six Premier League titles and one UEFA Champions League trophy.
He has scored 102 goals and assisted 170 times in 382 appearances for Pep Guardiola's side.
Speaking to HLN news about his club future ahead of Belgium's friendly encounter with Montenegro on Wednesday, De Bruyne said: "For Michele (De Bruyne's wife), an exotic adventure is okay. These are also conversations that we are increasingly having as a family.
"I still have one year left on my contract (at Man City), so I have to think about what could happen. My eldest (Mason Milian) is now eight years old and knows nothing but England. He also asks how long I will play for City. Once the moment comes, we will have to deal with it in a certain way."
Asked specifically about links with a move to Saudi Arabia, De Bruyne added: "At my age you have to be open to everything. You're talking about incredible amounts of money in what may be the end of my career. Sometimes you have to think about that.
"If I play there for two years, I will be able to earn an incredible amount of money. Before that I had to play football for 15 years. I may not even reach that amount yet.
"Then you have to think about what that could mean next. But at the moment I haven't had to think about that yet."
