Mail Sport reported in February that De Bruyne had been earmarked as a top target for the burgeoning Saudi Pro League, with officials prepared to step up their efforts to secure the Champions League winner’s signature this summer.

And, according to a report from journalist Rudy Galetti, Al-Ittihad have done just that, with the club said to have agreed terms with De Bruyne over a move.

The report goes onto claim that negotiations are said to be ongoing between Al-Ittihad and City in regards to a transfer fee for the 33-year-old, who arrived in Manchester from Wolfsburg for £55million back in 2015.

Al-Ittihad recently appointed former France and Manchester United defender Laurent Blanc as their new manager and boast several notable names among their ranks, including N’Golo Kante, Karim Benzema and Fabinho.
