According to Italian journalist Rudy Galetti, De Bruyne’s representatives met with members of the Saudi delegation, the Saudi Public Investment Fund.
He says there is approval for the trade from De Bruyne’s people.
De Bruyne racked up 10 assists in 18 Premier League games last seasonAl-Ittihad and Man City must now decide on a transfer fee.
Al-Ittihad, a Jeddah-based team, placed sixth in the Saudi Pro-League the previous year.
This week, they also failed in their attempt to appoint Marco Silva, the manager of Fulham, as their next leader.
If De Bruyne joined, he would be joining players like Fabinho, N’Golo Kante, and Karim Benzema.
His Man City contract is set to expire in just one year.
Regarding his future, he seemed amenable to leaving Etihad recently.
He said to the Belgian publication HLN that if the chance to go overseas arose, his wife would be up for a “exotic adventure”.
“For Michele, an exotic adventure is OK,” he stated. We are also talking about these topics more and more as a family.
“My contract is still valid for one year, so I need to consider my options.
“At eight years old, my eldest has never left England. How long will I play for City, he also asks?
“Once the moment comes, we will have to deal with it in a certain way.”
“At my age you have to be open to everything,” De Bruyne said when pressed on the possibility of joining the Saudi Pro League.
“You’re discussing enormous sums of money at a time when my career might be coming to an end. You have to consider that sometimes.
“I will have the opportunity to make a substantial salary if I play there for two years.
