Kevin de Bruyne could be playing his last season in the Premier League, with Manchester City. This is the news reported by the English media, as the player is in talks with San Diego FC, the MLS club in America. Sources close to the player have announced that in case of a departure from City, the midfielder prefers to play in MLS, and not in Saudi Arabia, another destination linked to De Bruyne.
At the moment, talks between the player and San Diego are still in the early stages. Some voices in the media reported that the American club has offered the Belgian a contract worth 20 million euros per season, but this news was denied by other sources. Kevin de Bruyne remains a key figure for manager Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, and the player will remain at the Etihad in the January transfer window.
The main problem for City managers is the fact that the footballer's contract expires next summer. This means that if the player does not renew with the "citizens" within this period, he can leave at zero cost. Sources close to the club have revealed that City are keen to keep De Bruyne at the Etihad, but that will be difficult.
Despite Saudi Arabia not appearing to be De Bruyne's preferred destination, the player has not ruled out playing in the Saudi Pro League. In an interview a few months ago, the player spoke about the idea of playing in Arabia:
"At my age you have to be open to everything. It is a question of extraordinary monetary sums, in what may be the last period of my career. Sometimes you have to think about it.”
