Kevin De Bruyne urged to link up with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr

Kevin De Bruyne has been urged to link up with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr amid speculations of Saudi Pro League and Major League Soccer interest after the Manchester City midfielder announced his departure at the end of the season.

De Bruyne has been advised to link up with Ronaldo at Al-Nassr as the City captain continues to settle on his next move with offers from the MLS and SPL.

The 33-year-old has confirmed his departure from the Etihad Stadium at the end of the current campaign, opening the door to offers from around the globe.

The Belgian captain remains a highly attractive proposition in the market, despite injuries and inconsistencies taking a toll on his illustreous career.

Top clubs from across the United States, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and other footballing regions are vying to secure the services of one of the finest playmakers of his generation on a free transfer.

Among the suitors, Saudi Arabian powerhouse Al-Nassr has emerged as a strong contender.

Not long ago, Al-Nassr was linked with a move for Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo – today, the same club are after one of the finest to grace the Premier League.

The club, already home to global icon Cristiano Ronaldo, is reportedly keen to add De Bruyne to its list of top players in a bid to further strengthen its domestic and continental ambitions.

Ronaldo is reported to be playing an active role in pushing the club’s interest in De Bruyne.

Former Chelsea and Arsenal defender William Gallas has added his voice to the call for De Bruyne to make the move to Riyadh.

“It would be great for Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane,” he said in an interview with Slingo. “It would be great for the club (Al Nassr).

“I know that the club are desperate to win the league, so it would be a very positive thing for them.

“It would definitely help Ronaldo score 1000 goals because De Bruyne’s vision is amazing. I’m sure Ronaldo would love to play alongside him.”

With De Bruyne open to a move, links to David Beckham’s MLS side, Inter Miami, have automatically sprung up. Some say, a potential midfield partnership with Lionel Messi, not to mention Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, has fans in Florida beaming with excitement already.
