Kevin De Bruyne is set to leave Manchester City at the end of the season, with Real Madrid reportedly on his radar. The Belgian midfielder, a key figure for City in recent years, will become a free agent and could join the Spanish giants.
The potential departure of Luka Modric from Real Madrid has opened up a vacancy in their midfield, and De Bruyne is seen as a possible replacement. According to DefensaCentral, his camp has offered him to the club, with hopes that his experience and quality could immediately strengthen the team.
De Bruyne is willing to lower his salary significantly to make the move happen. Currently earning around €16 million per season at City, he is said to be open to halving his wages to join Madrid and take on a new challenge.
Despite respect for De Bruyne’s abilities, Real Madrid is focused on building a younger squad. The club’s final decision may depend on who manages the team next season, with Xabi Alonso a potential candidate for the job. While De Bruyne is not an immediate priority, his name will remain on Madrid’s radar as the summer transfer window approaches.
