As the first club makes a concrete approach to sign the Manchester City star when he leaves the Etihad Stadium at the end of the season, Kevin De Bruyne is in line to be the subject of a shocking deal.
The legendary player for Manchester City, De Bruyne, made the announcement in an emotional statement at the beginning of the month that he will be leaving the club this summer, bringing an end to his great run there.
There was a rapid mobilisation of recruitment teams by clubs all around the world, with rumours circulating that the Saudi Pro League and Major League Soccer were among the destinations that were being promoted.
Following reports that De Bruyne is eager to move to the United States with his family, there has been talk of a link-up with Lionel Messi at Inter Miami. Additionally, interest from former club Wolfsburg has also been floated on the waters of social media.
Fabrizio Romano, a transfer analyst, has recently reported in an exclusive manner that it is “deal on” following the initial serious bid for De Bruyne’s services.
It seems that the 33-year-old player, who has won the Champions League and multiple Premier League titles with Manchester City, is destined to play in the Major League Soccer.
The shocking exclusive that Romano has is not, however, an approach from Inter Miami. Instead, it is one of their competitors in the Eastern Conference that has taken the decision to become De Bruyne’s next club.
According to a post that Romano made on X, which was once known as Twitter, the Major League Soccer club Chicago Fire has made an attempt to sign De Bruyne on a free transfer.
“De Bruyne will evaluate all available options over the next few days and weeks,” the well-known football transfer writer said on his website. “However, Chicago Fire are currently demonstrating a strong interest in a particular project in order to attract KDB.”
“Deal on.”
A designated player contract would need to be signed by De Bruyne with the Fire, who is now managed by Gregg Berhalter, who was once the head coach of the United States National Team.
As of right now, Hugo Cuypers and the newly signed Jonathan Bamba are the ones who are carrying that designation, which was initially established when David Beckham joined LA Galaxy and is sometimes referred to as the Beckham Rule.
Romano’s claim suggests that a speedy decision about De Bruyne’s future might be made prior to the start of the following season, despite the fact that he will have a great number of additional suitors in the coming days and weeks.
It is possible that the Major League Soccer’s summer schedule will have an effect on the timing of any transfer to Chicago or elsewhere.
Even though the Belgian’s contract extension at Manchester City was automatically extended, it is anticipated that he will depart the club as previously indicated.
