Cristiano Ronaldo wants to have a big season for Al-Nassr; it’s the season in which his contract expires and could be his last in the Saudi Pro League. Former AC Milan manager Stefano Pioli is now in command, and the club is off to a good start, winning four out of six games and remaining undefeated.

The problem is, Neymar’s Al-Hilal is the winner of all six of their games so far. CR7 is off to his usual start with five goals in six games. Still, in order to make that push and overtake Al-Hilal in the standings, Al-Nassr needs help.

According to the Daily Mail, help could be on its way in the form of Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, who is also in the final year of his City deal and could be moving on from the club after ten seasons.

In February, Saudi Pro League officials signaled their intention to ramp up efforts to attract De Bruyne from the Premier League. De Bruyne has been silent on his future at the moment, but there could also be a move to sister club NYCFC in Major League Soccer in the works.

“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,” De Bruyne stated to Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws at the time.
