You have to appreciate the honesty, and he's won everything in the EPL so good for him if he wants to go.

Many people appear to forget, including these pundits, that these players play a sport for a living and it’s their job. All the constant talk about legacy is sports media driven. The practical reality is most players could care less about legacy. They are trying to earn as much money as possible in this short period of their lives for themselves, their family, their friends, and community. The tax free money players like De Bruyne would make in Saudi Arabia is multi, multi, multi generational money. People need to come back to reality and realize the practical realities of these players playing this sport as a profession and not to appease text book history buffs like Gab who constantly talk about legacies.

Escaping from the 115 charges

Even when he was injured, he was seen in Saudi Arabia. Just a question of when he will go there.

Alnassr please!!!!

He's only on about 60 million a year, so I can understand him wanting to be financially secure.

Kevin should go and make money coz he has done it all here so I support him to go in Saudi and make huge amounts of money 🤷‍♂️

This same pundits had a problem with CR7 leaving as a 37yo saying he had to stay in Europe. Double faced ppl

It's understandable.

He’s won everything with city time for the big money

Pep leaving, de Bruyne leaving - some other getting old - ManCity dominance will end soon - Epl will return finally and stop being a farmers league

Thanks for the update!

Bro is finished, his legs been gone for 2 seasons now and it's so apparent. He aint as mobile as he once was and is huffing and puffing at 50 minutes....still one of the best passers of the ball in the game though

I hope so... its time!! And well deserved tbh. His body taking too many injuries lately aswell... and there are some others in this age that should think of that. Get a bag and change a generation footballers in a country.

He is just honest, as a City fan I don't find anything bad in this

Let him join Al nassar🤷‍♂️👊🏻

One thing you got to remember is that City has never tried to stop a player from leaving that wants to go. Ever.

I really feel that City is crumbling.. Things are slowly falling apart.. FFP to rule soon.. Players wanting to leave PEP soon to go back Barca..All these things..

I’d sale him and bring in Rodrygo, Wirtz, and Kudus… Gundogan wasn’t even well replaced either.

At least he’s honest unlike Henderson and love how they tried their hardest not to mention that because the brits get triggered when you criticize their own ! De Bruyne should go 💯 what else do you need when you win almost everything

To be fair, this past season he seems to have been injured more than any other season and Pep seemed to take him off in important games leading to some anger, seems like he realises his performance levels are going down and another serious injury can stand in the way of the next move

He looked really heavy after his return from injury. Only had a handful of classic DeBruyne performances. For his playing style I thought he would play deeper the older he got and end up in an Alonso role, but he seems to want to stay up top?

Haaland punching air

it will make me cry...i am not gonna lie

He knows rapture is upon them He's hitting the skits before he gets taken by the tsunami of charges 😂 And he's gonna dunk one on them by taking huge bag$$$ from them..Man is living the life 😂👏

At least he's honest

Just a great way to request for a bigger contract

So all the old stars retiring either in the MLS or The Camel League...As long as they retiring rich....good for them.

I suppose KDB has to go soon but he will be a great loss to the Premier League. He is probably the best midfielder in English football and has been incredible over such a long period at City.

Where Jan Sitting, in The Landry Room 😂😂😂

Man is trying to help end the production of Pep's oily Farmers market, and prove to the world that the prem doesn't need PSG to step in to stop City.

Even though he has a few more years left in him at the highest level despite him going through a decline in his physical abilities, you can’t rule out a potential move to Saudi Arabia for Kevin De Bruyne. His future is uncertain at Manchester City because we don’t know what’s going to happen to Pep Guardiola as he has hinted that he’s more closer to leaving than staying and if that happens next year I expect KDB to follow him out the door and it won’t be shocking if he leaves. Considering the fact that he’s on the wrong side of 30, he has some big decisions to make for club and country as he has to decide if he wants to remain at the top level since he could soon retire from international football meaning that he’ll only have to worry about his club and he has been vocal about the scheduling in modern football and how players are playing more and more games without any rest. This plays a role in his next move and if he decides to go to Saudi Arabia I honestly have no issue with it. Depending on when he retires from international football it might be after the EUROs possibly, he would want to end his career without having to deal with a congested schedule. Since he’s 32 years old, he won’t play at the top level forever and in the last 18 months, players have been going to Saudi Arabia as the money that they’ve been offering, it’s too difficult for the players to turn down and you can’t really blame them or criticize them for that. Players have been criticized for going to Saudi Arabia where they’re taking the money even though they have some football left in them at the top level. He said that he’s open to a move there and if you have an issue with players going to Saudi Arabia for the money, I’m sorry but you’ve never worked a day in your life. I know that all these players are making a lot of money in Europe, you earn twice of that in the Middle East and that’s generational wealth and you can use that money for anything to enjoy your life after your retirement take care of your family and pay for your kid’s education and future. Very soon, bro is about to learn Arabic.

Go get the bag bro

At least he admits it would b e 100% money motivated. I can respect that.

Pep subbing out KDB could’ve cost Man City more than the FA Cup..but KDB himself. It must’ve become clear to him that this is a sign of things to come. Might not have even considered Saudi if it weren’t for that one decision by Pep.

KDB’s departure will hurt less due to the ascent of Phil Foden, who will now be able to play in his preferred position at number 10

Well that's Guimaraes to city then. It would be part of the deal I think

Ali Moreno is the top smart pundit in ESPN...he knows how to defend his idea 1' if the criteria didn't say currently performance and is right to someone to take Messi, and he makes the good point about Salah , Gabi and pedri. / vinicius and Mbappé. When the truth hits your door, it makes everyone who doesn’t want to say it get confused. Bravo Ali Moreno, you are the best

If Haaland wants a competition he should move to La Liga.

Finally we have an honest guy, not telling us about some imaginary project

I'm an England fan. Why we are favourites is beyond me unless these are UK bookmakers odds not wanting to lose big bets on England.

It’s a no brainer. He’s won everything, he’ll always be a ManCity legend… Go get that 💰💰💰

Don't blame the players for getting that money, but it is a shame for the fans who are missing out on seeing these great players when they can still put on a show.

The is some thing we don't understand once kdb leaves is not just him Haaland will definitely struggle the more cause only kdb can risk passes doing 6he game the rest of the players don't so how do Haaland score as many goals again With mancity style of play

The end of city, while they were hoping to build a legend 😂

He will stay for one more year and than leave when his cintract expire, contribution he made to city club will respect that and will allow him to leave for free, expect one big attacking midfielder move this summer one of musiala or Wirtz is on the cards excess 150 million could be spent on that position

Bros discussing and questioning the future of a 33 year old man who won everything on club level. My goodness.

KDB knows those charges will hit them next season and he wants to leave before they get called out for corruption

He figures by moving closer to the fire it will prevent him from getting burned.

I see Everyone Including PEP wants to leave before the 115 Thing comes down

Looks like city let a ready made replacement for KDB go, in Palmer.

If you just want money, then go for it. At least he is calling it what it's for, greed. These players already have enough money. Just hope they understand what it's like for the entire family and not just him living in Saudi

Pep , debruyne , walker , their sporting manager all are leaving in 2 years . Now is the chance for other clubs to stop crying and try to get within striking distance with city

Bruno needs to go to Munich.

On club level he’s won it all so I get it, go get that money playing with less intensity and prolong your career

He's saying it to provoke City into offering him a contract extension

Pep allows everyone go but every summer he still make sure Bernado remains

"Hey we need to get in some money to balance the ffp rules. Can you buy a player from us for like double the value"

His best choice are : 1. Go to Madrid and replacing Kross. 2. Go to Man Utd and replacing Bruno. 3. Go to Bayern and replacing Mueller. 4. Go to Al Nassr and join Cr7. 🤔.

If the let him go man city will struggle this coming season cus the already made alot of changes last season

Take the money bro 👌

Good for KDB. He already paid his due in City he should just enjoy his time in Saudi and get the money. Foden is ready to step up, and City already have new signings planned. So yea, generational wealth at the end of the day all the comments arent gonna bother kdb when he retires with Saudi wealth

Please one more champions league for city then you can go to Saudi .maybe 1-2 seasons more

Don't blame him. He deserves a pay day. I would be happy if he joined the Saudi pro league

If they keep buying 30-something geniuses, they may end up with a decent...team...of the mid-2010s

Arteta about to discipline the other clubs after pep and de bruyne leave

Pep, Haaland and a couple of others will go to Barcelona when City blow up. Please Erling go to Arsenal instead.

33 is a difficult age!

34-40 games per year for >$100 Million USD worht of multi-generational money. A no brainer.

De Bruyne shouldn't leave Europe within two years for sure.

Lol ppl were against Henderson but it is fine now 😂😂😂

Feel bad for halaand if Kevin leaves and pep leaves Who will supply the ball

de bryne and ronaldo partnership i want to see , come to al nassr kbd

There is a thing called marginal profit. KDB and other footballers on this level earn big money, more money than probably 98% of all people over the world. He can live a life in peace with absolutely no financial concerns without this transfer. He generally also seems like a nice bloke. But then why ignore any kind of moral perspective on this transfer to Saudi Arabia just for additional money which at the end doesn't really affect how you can live your life. The second or third watch or car you buy is probably still great, but doesn't it get almost worthless buying the 10th or 20th watch for example?

Multi-millionaires always need more ££££

Palmer should be De Bruyne's ideal replacement, I think Palmer will end up back at Man City before his career is done

If they give anything over $30 million take it and run

If pep was here for the long term. Injury prone KDB may have been sold after the champs league win to make way for young starlets

He is doing right think unlike Rober Levedansky that nobody wants him for free now

Kevin has no more records to get nor Tropies to collect. Kevin could go to Saudi and rest his body for two season than go back to Belgium for farewell and full tilt for his last World Cup

Who is this guy who says 'any human being will think like that' - what? Not everyone bases all their decisions on the money alone - or even takes the money into account at all when there are other factors to be weighed. Consider... Messi is a 'human being' as well - did Messi 'think like that'? We can't be sure, but we do know the outcome and Messi is not the sole example.

Who has followed any players that have gone to Saudi Arabia? It’s all about money and nothing to do with Legacy or prestige.

Mark's audio quality is terrible

without KDB and Pep City will struggle alot ,,, like aloooooooooooooooootttttt

No, come to MLS first then fisnish at saudi in my opinion

If any of these ones on the microphone are offered a higher paying job they’ll take it. Why should footballers be any different?

I’d prob do it for a few years and get generational wealth to set the family up

The decision to go to Saudi is also about a lesser schedule, a break from the Prem's physicality and the difficult road that City walks each and every season. All those competitions bring expectations that a side like City has to shoulder. Couple those club demands with national team duties, a season in Saudi is a virtual holiday. Less media. Less Pep, not letting the lad talk. Less mid-week travel. Oh yeah, AND the money. Saudi is most certainly in play, if not in 2024-25, definetly in the years to come.

Teaming up with Ronaldo for two years would be great.

If I were KDB, I'd go? What if next season I got more injuries and after my contract ends with MC, nobody is going to bring me more $$$$$? 😅😅

Hey knows the writing is on the wall for Man City.

Where Craig Burley

Not incredible amount, insane amount!!! I wouldn't blame him. Inflation is high nowadays. He needs it.

Tbh why not , everything is washed , might as well make money out of it 😂 I can seriously see him in Real Madrid BUT money over controversy over not winning

Yikes. Man City is headed to League One at this point 😂

The fact that United fans wants Bruno to stay, tells you a lot about Man United.

All that money and courtois still can take his girl

He should join liverpool sobo is not good enough

Its got to be al nassr

From oil money club to oil money club
