Belgian Surprise: De Bruyne Takes Pay Cut to Half for Madrid Move

Belgium is turned upside down as De Bruyne reveals what he’s willing to do to join Real Madrid this summer.

Real Madrid is looking for potential replacements for Modric. It’s still unclear what will happen with the Croatian, but with rumors of his possible departure, names are starting to emerge to fill his shoes.

One of Florentino’s long-standing desires is Kevin De Bruyne, the Belgian footballer from Manchester City, whose contract expires in 2025 and has yet to announce whether he will renew, so the idea of leaving this summer might cross his mind.

It seems clear that he won’t lack offers, but one of them could come from Real Madrid, and he would be delighted to accept it. At least, that’s the information coming from Belgium.

It was journalist Christopher Terror, a respected voice in his country, who surprised everyone: “I assure you that De Bruyne is willing to cut his salary by more than half in exchange for playing two or three seasons at Real Madrid.”

The Last Big Contract Kevin De Bruyne remains a key player for Guardiola. He started the season injured, but after recovering, he has taken the reins of the sky-blue team, demonstrating that he still has quality.

However, his contractual situation could lead him to leave in search of one last big contract, although according to the cited information, he’s not looking to earn a fortune but to join a great team.

Clubs from Saudi Arabia were keeping an eye on him, but if the Belgian journalist’s claims are confirmed, Real Madrid would be a more appealing destination for him, although it doesn’t seem to fit into Florentino’s plans.
