Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne has less than a year left on his deal and his future beyond this season needs to be clarified.
The 33-year-old has returned to training after being sidelined close to a month due to an injury. He’s missed for over 150 days due to injuries since the start of last season.
Journalist Sacha Tavolieri, writing in his column for Sky Sport CH, shares updates about the Manchester City player’s future.
He claims the Premier League winners have a desire to extend the attacking midfielder’s deal. To do this, Pep Guardiola’s side have initiated talks with his agent.
The Belgium international isn’t in favour of signing a new contract at Manchester City.
He has received calls from Al-Nassr, as their star, Cristiano Ronaldo, urged their leaders to sign De Bruyne. His wife, Michèle Lacroix, prefers the US over Saudi Arabia to raise their children.
The Belgian, who is a ‘lover of American culture’, would favour a move to MLS where the game is slower compared to the Premier League. He also sees America as a good place to live with his family.
San Diego FC, who will join MLS from 2025, have presented the ‘most serious project’ to the Manchester City midfielder. Tavolieri adds they are offering close $20m [£15.4m] gross per year, which is close to his current salary at the Etihad.
At this moment in time, all signs point towards a Manchester City exit at the end of this season for De Bruyne.
