Kevin De Bruyne says he 'has to' be open to a move to Saudi Arabia as he cast doubt over his Manchester City future.
De Bruyne has one year left on his contract at the Etihad and there has been significant interest in him from the Saudi Pro League as they look to continue their momentum and bring the best stars in the world to their competition. However, the Belgian has also shown that he remains peerless in England as he produced more assists than any other Premier League player last season despite missing five months with injury.
City's talisman has previously said he would see out his deal in Manchester that would take him to a decade at the club, although with a year left the 32-year-old admitted that his children have started to ask him about how much time he has left at the Etihad. “I still have one year left on my contract, so I have to think about what could happen," he told HLN.

"My eldest 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.”
Any clubs interested in De Bruyne will certainly not be put off by his latest comments, and the player himself does not sound against the idea of playing in Saudi Arabia - especially given the money that would be on offer.
“At my age you have to be open to everything," he said. "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.
