The star that Guardiola would demand to return to Barcelona at zero cost

Kevin de Bruyne, Manchester City's Belgian midfielder, is still waiting to renew his contract with the current European champions, while he continues to receive offers from abroad, particularly from Saudi Arabia, which is looking for a top signing to alleviate the departures of some top players.

This operation is expected to take place next summer. The recent acquisition of the club by the oil company Aramco has generated a desire to invest in the team. However, there is a major obstacle: the team is currently in the Saudi second division, so promotion this season would be essential to carry out this ambitious plan.

Al Qadisiyah's interest in a player of Kevin De Bruyne's stature, coupled with the financial backing provided by Aramco, suggests a bold attempt by the club to project itself at a higher level. However, the achievement of promotion becomes a crucial aspect of making this transfer deal a reality and raising the status and competitiveness of the team.
