There is bad news for Premier League side Manchester City. Just now, according to the latest news brought by British media Sky Sports, Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne's agent is currently running around for the player's next home. In addition to the Saudi league team that keeps coming to the door, De Bruyne himself is also interested in it, which is why his agent is interviewing him for a new club. For Manchester City, De Bruyne's departure is indeed a bit unacceptable.

It is reported that in the past two seasons, after the superstar program of the Saudi league began to be promoted, a large number of superstars in the five major leagues have become their targets. Among them is Manchester City's midfield core Kevin De Bruyne, who is a strong contender for the current No. 1 midfielder. De Bruyne's quality is evident and he has often been compared to some of the best midfielders in the history of football in the past. Coupled with the fact that he is the core of Manchester City's midfield, he is a proper supergiant in terms of individual performance and team honors, which is why the Saudi league looks at him.

Coupled with De Bruyne's age, his current form is also showing signs of decline. On top of that, several teams in the Saudi league want to bring it to the Saudi league with an annual salary of more than $100 million. However, De Bruyne has been very tough before, and he has turned down offers from several teams. But as the season progressed, Delaunay's personal mentality has changed. Especially after returning from injury, after putting on a good performance but still missing out on the quarterfinals of the Champions League. De Bruyne and his team believe that perhaps it's time for a change. The player is in his 30s, and the key is to think about the exit path in time.

So far, according to Sky Sports, De Bruyne's agent and adviser have been in contact with 10 teams. Among them are six teams in the Saudi league, with teams like Riyadh Victory, Riyadh Crescent and Jeddah United all hoping to sign De Bruyne. In addition to this, there are several teams from the Europa League. More crucially, there are MLS teams among them, with clubs in the major leagues hoping to sign Kevin De Bruyne next season.

To some extent, De Bruyne is not short of a home at this stage. As long as he wants to leave, then he will receive a new contract in the summer window. And the fact that he has now instructed his advisers to get involved with the new team is a testament to De Bruyne's desire to leave. It doesn't necessarily have to be a departure in this season's transfer window, but it is certain that the player himself will make a new career decision in the short term. It is worth mentioning that De Bruyne revealed his whereabouts after leaving the team in an interview some time ago. He said that he would definitely not go to the Saudi league, and he had previously rejected an annual salary of more than 100 million euros from Riyadh Victory and Riyadh Crescent.

De Bruyne personally prefers to join the MLS in the future to play in the United States, and from this point of view, De Bruyne and Messi Suarez are in the same mind. Although the salary in the MLS is much lower than that of the Saudi league, the conditions are suitable in all aspects. In recent years, there is no doubt that the MLS has attracted more stars from the top five leagues than the Saudi league. For De Bruyne, he is 32 years old, and now Manchester City's overall squad, especially the midfield, is still relatively competitive. Then, as he gets older, it's really time for him to think of a way out.

For any star who is about to step into the ranks of veterans, choosing how to end their career is crucial. In De Bruyne's view, joining the MLS team next is his choice. It is worth mentioning that the MLS's Miami International had previously tried to contact De Bruyne, but there was no follow-up. If Messi and De Bruyne join forces, it will be a good story in football. So where do you think De Bruyne will go in the future? Will he join MLS in the next two transfer windows?
