The Saudi Pro League is contemplating a potential transfer for Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne.

Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne has caught the attention of the Saudi Pro League, who are preparing a bid for the Belgian international. With just over a year left on his current contract, De Bruyne’s future at City remains uncertain. The top Saudi clubs are intensifying their efforts to tempt him away from the Premier League, as they see him as the player who can further elevate the division’s appeal.

Talks for a contract extension with City have not yet begun, and De Bruyne’s future plans are yet to be revealed. Michael Emenalo, the sports director of the Pro League, even attended one of City’s training sessions during the Club World Cup to observe De Bruyne’s progress.

Manchester United’s pursuit of Bayern Munich’s Mathys Tel may have hit a roadblock. The 18-year-old forward has impressed United, but Bayern’s announcement of manager Thomas Tuchel’s departure at the end of the season could impact Tel’s potential move. Whether Tel leaves the Allianz Arena will depend on the new manager who replaces Tuchel. This decision is entirely out of United’s hands, and they may fail to secure one of their top transfer targets as a result.

Arsenal striker Mika Biereth is making a strong impression on loan at Sturm Graz. The Austrian club is so impressed that they want to make his loan move permanent in the summer. Biereth, who joined Sturm Graz in January after his loan spell at Motherwell was cut short, has already scored twice in his first four games. However, there is no option-to-buy clause in the loan deal, so Arsenal will have to consider their options when deciding the striker’s future.

Despite suggestions that Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants to sell winger Antony, Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is determined to keep hold of him this summer. Antony, who joined United two years ago, has struggled to make an impact, failing to score or provide an assist in the Premier League this season. Ratcliffe, who has assumed control of football operations at Old Trafford, is reportedly considering selling Antony along with other players. However, Ten Hag believes in Antony’s potential and hopes he will improve in the coming season.
