Kevin De Bruyne has been offered to Real Madrid by his agents and managers due to his expiring contract. However, Real Madrid declined the opportunity to sign him, acknowledging his qualities but believing his acquisition does not align with their current transfer strategy given his career stage. The Belgian playmaker's contract with Manchester City is due to expire at the end of the season. While a contract extension remains possible, both parties are considering other options. De Bruyne, who has been linked to potential moves to the United States or Saudi Arabia, has experienced reduced playing time under Pep Guardiola, fueling more rumors of his departure. Real Madrid, which has also been approached regarding other players with expiring contracts like Virgil van Dijk and Leroy Sané, chose not to pursue De Bruyne, despite recognizing his talent.
