The 33-year-old’s current Manchester City contract is coming to an end at the end of the current campaign, and there have been no talks or indications of a contract renewal as of yet.
Concurrently, De Bruyne is battling a persistent fitness issue after suffering a groin injury last month, as aging seems to be making it harder for him to handle the intensity of English game.
After returning to first-team training over the past two weeks, Pep Guardiola has consistently maintained that De Bruyne is only waiting to be fully ready for matches before taking on matchday responsibilities.
Meanwhile, rumors about Kevin De Bruyne’s future are still circulating, particularly in the wake of a summer transfer window that was full of hints that Saudi Arabia would be his next home.
GIVEMESPORT’s Tom Bogert and Ben Jacobs report that San Diego FC has now discussed a possible future transfer to Manchester City with the vice captain’s representation.
According to reports, there is “mutual interest” from both parties following initial discussions, but any deal is “far from advanced.” The 33-year-old is thought to prefer a move to Major League Soccer over Saudi Arabia if he were to leave Manchester City.
Although the source emphasizes that Manchester City is “keen” to keep the Belgium international captain at the club, there is still a chance that Kevin De Bruyne will stay in his current position.
Throughout the summer, Kevin De Bruyne gave numerous speeches on his future, especially the possibility of relocating to the Middle East in light of the enormous financial offers that would be made to him.
De Bruyne appeared to have left open the possibility that his wife and small family may adapt to the Middle Eastern way of life even as he accepted the substantial financial rewards of joining the Saudi Pro League.
An foreign adventure is acceptable to Michele. In the summer, De Bruyne told a Belgian television, “We are also having more and more of these conversations as a family.” “I have to consider my options because I still have a year left on my contract at Manchester.”
“At eight years old, my oldest [child] knows nothing but England,” De Bruyne added. How long will I play at City, he also asks? When the time comes, we will need to handle it in a particular manner.
“You have to be receptive to anything at my age. You mention absurd sums in what might be the final days of my career. You have to consider that sometimes.
The Belgium international said that he would be “able to earn an incredible amount of money” if he spent two years in Saudi Arabia once his career at Manchester City ended.
