Kevin De Bruyne is ready to move to Real Madrid: How did Madrid respond to the offer?

Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne could be set to join Spanish giants Real Madrid, according to a report from reliable sources in the world of football.

The 33-year-old Belgian's agents have reportedly recommended his transfer to Real Madrid. The move comes as Toni Kroos is set to retire at the end of the season. This has forced the club to look for a new centre-back.

According to sources, De Bruyne has made it clear he wants to play for Real Madrid and is willing to make a huge sacrifice to do so. The Belgian has reportedly agreed to take a cut in his current salary of around €16 million at Manchester City and accept a €7-8 million salary from Real Madrid.

However, although the Madrid club management respectfully accepted the offer, they noted that they had doubts about the player's age and his sporting form. According to Real Madrid experts, the 33-year-old midfielder's best years at the top level of football may be behind him.

It is worth noting that Kevin De Bruyne will leave Manchester City at the end of this season. This season, he has played in a total of 37 matches in all competitions, scoring 6 goals and providing 8 assists. According to the Transfermarkt portal, his current transfer market value is estimated at around 27 million euros.

Several other European clubs are also interested in the player, and his future is expected to be clear soon.
