Kevin de Bruyne received offers from four Major League football teams when he was preparing to leave Manchester City this summer.
At the beginning of this month it was confirmed that City offered an expensive expansion to the 33-year-old, which will instead go away from the Etihad Stadium if his current contract expires at the end of the season.
De Bruyne has already retired and admitted publicly that he is ready to be addressed by every club with an interesting project. Accordingly The athleteMLS pages have wasted little time to do exactly that.
Inter Miami, Chicago Fire, New York City FC and DC United are said to have expressed interest in De Bruyne and started “exploration talks” via a blockbuster summer.
It is from the quartet that Miami has the advantage because they have de Bruyne’s rights of discovery, which means that they are a priority when it comes to negotiating a contract with the Belgium internationally.
However, Miami has no free slots for players, which means that they can only offer a significant contract for the salaries of other clubs far below the salaries offered in the entire division.
Previously, it was reported that de Bruynes would probably be the most likely landing site in MLS San Diego FC, but sports director Tyler Heps openly admitted that he does not know where the rumors come from.
City is now looking for de Bruyes successor. Bayer Leverkusens Florian Wirtz is an important goal, while Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest was also mentioned as a possible option.
