Kevin de Bruyne showed on Friday evening that he was far from worn, by driving himself man of the match on behalf of Manchester City against Wolverhampton. Nevertheless, his departure seems irreversible and the search for a new employer is already in full swing.
De Bruyne joined City in 2015, which became the start of an absolute dream wedding. With the Belgian in the machine room, the club won one award after another. For his part, the playmaker has become one of the best fields in world football. But this fruitful partnership will soon end.
De Bruyne’s contract has indeed expired at the end of the season and the club decided not to offer him an extension. KDB therefore currently performs its farewell tour with the Champions of England. Meanwhile, the Red Devil is also looking for a new employer. And interest is starting to be felt.
Europe or MLS?
At first, Saudi Arabia seemed to be its privileged destination, but this track seems to have cooled. In addition, from Bruyne has since opened the door to other European and even English clubs. A number of these teams would also consider his arrival, although no concrete approach has been undertaken for the moment.
Consequently, the American Major League Soccer remains a major candidate to become the next championship of the playmaker. A transfer to Inter Miami seems unrealizable for financial reasons. DC United and FC New York City, Manchester City brother club, would also be interested, but by far.
Ambitious chicago
It is therefore the Chicago Fire which would currently be the favorite. It appeared earlier that this club had the best chance, and ESPN even reports that concrete negotiations are already underway. With Jonathan Bamba and his old friend Hugo Cuypers, Chicago has only two “Designated Players” (designated players), which still leaves room for another high -level player.
In addition, the owner Joe Mansueto is very ambitious and coach Gregg Berhalter has already revealed that he wanted to recruit an attacking player. An interesting offer from a European club currently seems to be the main stumbling block of the transfer.
