Saudi clubs eye Kyle Walker and Kevin De Bruyne amid Man City uncertainties

Walker, 34, has drawn attention from Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli amid waning form at City.

Having started just nine Premier League games this season, the England international's trademark pace appears diminished, leaving him vulnerable against opposing wingers.

Despite this, Walker remains part of City's core leadership group, with 18 months remaining on his contract.

European clubs may hesitate to invest in Walker, who will turn 35 in May and has 93 England caps to his name.

However, Saudi clubs could offer a lucrative deal that might prompt City to consider a sale. Walker previously addressed Saudi transfer links in March, remarking, "never say never," but ultimately stayed with the club.

A mid-season move appears unlikely given City's small squad and defensive injuries, but a summer departure could be on the cards.

De Bruyne, meanwhile, is also expected to attract renewed interest from Saudi clubs this January.

The 33-year-old's contract expires in the summer, and there has been no clear indication of a renewal.

Pursued by Saudi clubs last summer, De Bruyne opted to remain at City but has stated he is "open to everything" regarding his future.

Like Walker, a mid-season sale seems improbable, though the summer may bring a different outcome.
