Manchester City Midfielder Kevin De Bruyne's Future Uncertain as Contract Expires

MANCHESTER (Alayaran.com) - The future of Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is shrouded in uncertainty as his contract with the Etihad Stadium comes to an end at the end of the season. Despite reportedly backing a new deal, the 33-year-old has hinted that he may explore overseas options.

De Bruyne's agent recently entered negotiations with several clubs, reigniting speculation about a potential transfer. Two of the most intriguing markets have emerged: Saudi Arabia's Pro League and Major League Soccer (MLS). Initially ruled out by De Bruyne, he appears open to joining a Saudi team in an unexpected twist.

Meanwhile, in MLS, De Bruyne would be an extremely attractive signing for teams like San Diego FC, who initially expressed interest in January. Former Premier League insider Jeff Rueter shared his analysis, stating that even at 33 years old, De Bruyne's arrival would drastically boost the depth of a struggling MLS team.

"De Bruyne's presence would instantly bolster the midfield, and with his expected limited playing time during the busy season, it's unclear how much of an impact he could have for a squad still finding its footing," Rueter said. "A club looking to establish itself in the league would undoubtedly be keen on snagging such a talented talent."

As De Bruyne weighs his options, San Diego FC and other potential suitors will need to navigate a series of factors, including contract negotiations and navigating the intricacies of international signing rules.
