Manchester City midfielder, Kevin De Bruyne, has reportedly agreed to leave the Premier League champions after agreeing personal terms with Saudi Pro League side, Al-Ittihad.
In an interview last month, the Belgian star admitted that at his age he has to start planning for life after football.
He said, “At my age you have to be open to everything.
“You’re talking about incredible amounts of money in what may be the end of my career. Sometimes you have to think about that.”
However, a recent report by Italian journalist, Rudy Galetti, said Al-Ittihad have agreed terms with the Man City playmaker over a move.

He further revealed negotiations are ongoing between the two clubs over a transfer.
If the deal is completed, De Bruyne would be playing alongside Karim Benzema, Fabinho and N’Golo Kante at the Saudi Pro League side.
The 33-year-old, who has spent almost a decade with Pep Guadiola’s side, has a contract that expires in June 2025.
De Bruyne joined City from Wolfsburg for £55million in 2015.
