Aston Villa has reportedly developed as potential candidates Sign Kevin de Bruyne as soon as he leaves Manchester City in summer.
The 33-year-old Belgian was not viewed by Pep Guardiola after two injured seasons, but he has no free outside of the Etihad.
At least four MLS clubs are said to be interested in de Bruyne, while it is also assumed that Saudi Arabia and South America are also accepted. However, the series title winner indicated his willingness to join another Premier League Club.
Sky Sport claim that Aston Villa de Bruyne could offer the opportunity to stay in England’s top flight.
At this point, the UNAI Emery team only led “internal discussions” about a deal for a player who turns 34 in June. De Bruyne is said to have a “reluctance of his family” and should not go far to commute to Birmingham.
The series -side como should also “carry out checks”, although this would of course be a considerable shift to northern Italy.
De Bruynes recent injury record could be a problem. In the past two years, Guardiola has been for 48 games without his leading creator. However, if it is fully fit and available, there was little back in its underlying numbers. This season, no Premier League player with more than a few minutes average has more chances than de Bruyne, who narrowly exploits Arsenals Bukayo Saka.
The villa is not a stranger when it comes to playing on dizzy talent. The quarter-finalists of the Champions League in Emery were classified as excess requirements for the requirements in Paris Saint-Germain or Manchester United as excess requirements.
The financial package that de Bruyne can command could complicate the approach of a contractor, but in particular the villa. According to the latest published accounts, astonishing 96% of the annual turnover of the villa is obliged for wages. For comparison, Chelsea are the next higher expenses in the Premier League with a ratio of 72%.
De Bruyne is one of the best paid players in the world and has wages in the region of £ 400,000 a week.
