  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Al-Nassr could reportedly offer De Bruyne up to $1 million per week in an attempt to lure the assist king to Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo sees him as a potentially transformative signing that could help propel Al-Nassr above their title rivals Al-Hilal. The Belgian has struggled with injury for a few seasons but still has the quality to make a huge difference.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  De Bruyne made just 18 appearances in the Premier League last season, his lowest total in a campaign since joining the club. Yet, the Belgian still managed to register 10 assists and chip in with four goals to help get City over the line for yet another title.
