Amid rumors of a conflict with Pep Guardiola, Kevin De Bruyne is facing the possibility of leaving Manchester City to reunite with José Mourinho at Fenerbahce in a surprise deal.
Fenerbahce is preparing for a famous transfer when it is ready to take Kevin De Bruyne away from Manchester City to join this club. According to information from The Times, Fenerbahce is offering a very attractive salary, up to 250,000 pounds per week after tax, to convince the Belgian star to move to Türkiye.
De Bruyne – currently 33 years old, has a contract with Manchester City until the summer of 2025, but his future at the Etihad Stadium is uncertain , especially when he faces injury problems in recent years. recent season. Although Man City can extend the contract with this player, De Bruyne will have to prove that he can still maintain top form.
In this context, Fenerbahce and other clubs from Major League Soccer (MLS) and Saudi Arabia have also expressed interest in recruiting De Bruyne. In particular, famous coach José Mourinho is very eager to have the services of the Belgian player. Mourinho is currently leading Fenerbahce and has made no secret of his ambition to bring De Bruyne to this team.
According to information from Mundo Deportivo, Mourinho met with Fenerbahce’s sporting director – Mario Branco, to begin negotiations with Manchester City as well as with De Bruyne’s representative. Although recruiting De Bruyne from Manchester City at this time seems quite complicated, Mourinho is still willing to make a big effort to convince the 33-year-old midfielder to join Fenerbahce in the upcoming winter transfer window.
However, joining Fenerbahce is not De Bruyne’s only option. This player was linked with a move to Saudi Arabia during last summer’s transfer window and was also unhappy with the dense schedule of European tournaments.
Therefore, Fenerbahce will have to compete fiercely with other clubs, especially with attractive financial offers from Saudi Arabian teams. One of the important factors that made De Bruyne consider the possibility of joining Fenerbahce was his relationship with Mourinho. Working under the guidance of the Portuguese coach – who has had many successes in his career, can be a big motivation for De Bruyne.
Although De Bruyne’s contract with Manchester City ends at the end of this season, and there are currently no talks about an extension, his future is still being closely watched. Besides joining Fenerbahce, De Bruyne can also continue to work with Man City if he maintains good form for the rest of the season. However, if he cannot find top form again, a move to Fenerbahce could be a realistic option for both De Bruyne and the Turkish club.
