De Bruyne will be a free agent this summer after he has announced that he will leave Manchester City when his contract is done.
His exit at the end of the season will take place after a ten-year Trophy-Zehn-year magic in the Etihad Stadium.
The fire is the youngest club, which shows interest in the 33-year-old, even though a formal offer was still made.
They would also be exposed to a potential stumbling block with the kind permission of the American outfit Inter Miami.
The reigning MLS supporters have the right to discover the right to discover the Bruyne, which means that they have exclusivity when it comes to negotiating with him first.
Chicago could receive the rights of discovery from her rivals of the Eastern Conference, but would have to negotiate a remuneration fee.
Your interest comes only three days after the two sides had drawn 0-0 in Soldier Field.
De Bruyne should currently take a significant reduction in wages to join Inter Miami, who has David Beckham together.
Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets are currently occupied by the club’s three designated players.
Described players are freed from the MLS salary limit, which means that they can receive higher wages or be signed for larger transmission fees.

In the meantime, Chicago has space on her list of the designated players before the summer.
Inter Miami could soon make room for de Bruyne, since Messi, Alba and Busquets all expire the current offers at the end of this year.
Chicago, who is managed by the former USA boss Gregg Berhalter, came to MLS in 1998.
However, they have not contributed to their lonely MLS Cup title since they raised the trophy in their debut season.
De Bruyne confirmed his exit in a social media declaration at the beginning of this month.
He will leave the club ten years after his arrival from Wolfsburg in 2015.
Since then, the club captain has made 415 appearances, scored 107 goals and achieved 177 templates.
De Bruyne also won 18 trophies with city, including their historical heights in 2023.
And while he was strongly associated with a change to MLS, De Bruyne has not ruled out to join another Premier League team.
The former Chelsea man commented on whether he could play in England, and said: “To be honest, I don’t know.
“The decision was not long.
“I have to talk to you and then I will see which team wants me. So I don’t know. I have no idea.”
