Kevin De Bruyne has expressed his preference for playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo rather than Lionel Messi.
When asked to choose between the two football icons, he picked Ronaldo, emphasizing the benefits of having a traditional striker as a teammate.
De Bruyne explained that, as a playmaker, he would thrive with a target man like Ronaldo, whereas Messi’s similar playmaking style could lead to redundancy in their roles.
His comments could offer a clue about his future, especially with his contract set to expire this summer.
Speculation has linked him to both the Saudi Pro League and Major League Soccer, where he might cross paths with either Messi or Ronaldo again.
Despite recent injury struggles, De Bruyne has managed 11 Premier League starts this season, recording two goals and six assists.
His next destination remains uncertain, with potential interest from Saudi clubs and MLS side New York City FC.
