What they say is that everything good has to end. Following the talismanic Kevin De Bruyne’s recent public announcement that he will be departing Manchester City at the end of the 2024–2025 season, that has resonated among the Etihad Stadium supporters.
Arriving as a youthful attacking midfielder, who some have called a “flop” because of his time with Chelsea, the Belgian turned into a creative genius who can play a pass like a pro and will end his time in the Premier League as a legend.
In his public statement, he said, “Nothing about this is easy to write,” but as football players, we all know that this day will come. That day has here, and I should tell you about it first because you deserve it.
the 109-cap Belgium international, who is considered to be among the greatest midfielders in Premier League history, will be free to leave because his contract expires in the summer. However, which teams are most likely to sign him based on William Hill’s odds?
Both MLS and Saudi Pro League Likely Destinations
The Belgian could compete with/against Ronaldo or Messi
Moving to the MLS or the Saudi Pro League are alluring choices for people who seemingly can no longer handle the rigours of European football or who are just looking for a big pay day.
The six-time Premier League winner has reportedly always been interested in ending his playing career in the United States, and as of right now, the odds are even for him to be the MLS’ biggest summer signing.
Martin Odegaard, Bruno Fernandes, and Kevin De Bruyne.

2.
However, insiders have informed Tom Bogert of GIVEMESPORT that De Bruyne’s following in the footsteps of the trailblazing Cristiano Ronaldo is also at odds, and that a possible transfer to the famed MLS team San Diego FC is not currently in the works.
A Comeback to the Bundesliga
Wolfsburg and Bayern Munich are two possible contenders.
De Bruyne, a former Champions League champion, truly established himself in England. However, it would be naive to overlook his time spent playing for teams like VfL Wolfsburg and SV Werder Bremen in Germany’s top division.
De Bruyne became one of the most sought-after commodities in world football, particularly for the former, after scoring 20 goals and dishing out 37 assists in 73 games. City’s enlistment of his services was sufficient, but could he turn on them ten years later?
Bayern Munich is also credited with odds of 10/1 after it was announced that Thomas Muller’s contract will not be extended at the end of the current campaign. Football in the Champions League and the chance to win trophies would be virtually assured.
A Magnificent Return to Genk
From 2005 to 2008, the midfield player advanced through their academy ranks.
Many football players have chosen to spend their final game with their original club over the years in order to be loyal to their roots and give their boyhood clubs’ supporters a final farewell.
To mention a few: Robin van Persie began and ended his career at Feyenoord, while Arjen Robben, a fellow countryman, did the same for Groningen. Carlos Tevez also enters the exclusive group after rejoining Boca Juniors in 2018, thirteen years after leaving.
The 33-year-old may soon have the opportunity to make a full circle since KRC Genk, the team he played 113 games for from 2008 to 2012 during the early years of his now-famous career, is also a possible suitor for his well-equipped services.
Can We See De Bruyne Wearing a Manchester United Shirt?
Together with the Red Devils, Tottenham Hotspur, led by Ange Postecoglou, are 66/1.
To be honest, who anticipated this? De Bruyne, who was born in Drongen, has been dominating the blue side of the football-crazed city for the better part of a decade, yet his current employers’ bitter rivals, Manchester United, have been given odds of 66/1.
In actuality, there are a number of reasons why this transfer won’t take place. In any case, considering Bruno Fernandes’ exploits, Ruben Amorim has a lot of problems to resolve before bringing in an offensive midfielder.
GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: De Bruyne has won 10 of his 21 games against Manchester United and contributed nine goals (three goals and six assists) during that period.
In other news, Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur has been given odds of 66/1, and it is also likely that they will stay in east Manchester, albeit at 50/1. But it’s more likely that the Belgian will depart England in the summer.
