Kevin De Bruyne ‘AGREES personal terms to join Pro League side Al-Ittihad’ – after the Man City star detailed the ‘incredible money’ on offer in Saudi Arabia

Kevin De Bruyne has reportedly agreed personal terms to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad.

After spending nearly a decade at the Etihad, the Belgian midfielder’s current deal at the club is set to expire at the end of the coming campaign.

Mail Sport reported in February that De Bruyne had been earmarked as a top target for the burgeoning Saudi Pro League with officials prepared to step up their efforts to secure the Champions League winner’s signature this summer.

According to a report from journalist Rudy Galetti, Al-Ittihad have done just that, with the club said to have agreed terms with De Bruyne over a move.

Negotiations are said to be ongoing between the two clubs over a transfer fee the 33-year-old who arrived in Manchester from Wolfsburg in 2015.

Al-Ittihad are managed by former France and Manchester United defender Laurent Blanc and boast several notable names among their ranks, including N’Golo Kante, Karim Benzema, Fabinho and Jota.

However, despite spending big last summer the Public Investment Fund-owned club were only able to finish fifth in the league more than 40 points behind runaway leaders Al-Hilal.
