Kevin De Bruyne set to leave Man City to join club ... that has yet to play a single match!

Leaving the Etihad soon?

Kevin De Bruyne has won another Premier League title with Manchester City, making it four in a row and six in total for the brilliant Belgian midfielder. But KDB could well be leaving the Etihad...

San Diego FC

According to The Athletic, San Diego FC are interested in bringing De Bruyne to the MLS in a shock move, with both parties reportedly having had talks.

One more year

However, it seems unlikely that De Bruyne will leave Manchester City this summer, with both parties keen to continue their partnership by at least another season. KBD's current deal runs until mid-2025.

Newly founded club

San Diego FC is a newly founded club, who will start playing in the MLS starting from 2025, per the SUN.

Looking to build a star ensemble

The Californian club is looking to build up a star-studded line-up, and has also been linked with Spanish star Sergio Ramos, whose contract with Sevilla expires this summer.

Not ready to leave Europe yet

Unlike Ramos, De Bruyne does not seem ready to say goodbye to Europe just yet, and looks set to play at the top for a little while longer.

City's maestro

At 32, KDB is still one of City's most important players, with four goals and ten assists to his name in the Premier League title-winning campaign.

Hamstring unjury

The Belgian has bounced back from a hamstring injury that kept him sidelined for months until early January 2024, when he made a strong comeback against Newcastle.

A leader

De Bruyne's importance to City is not limited to his goals and assists, however, as he is also one of the team's leaders. "I think his leadership is proven on the pitch, a person like this. He is so friendly, and he is not a player who will talk a lot before a game, but he proves a real leader when we play," Pep Guardiola once told TNT Sports.

Up to number seven?

De Bruyne and Guardiola will now chase a seventh Premier League title, in what could well be the Belgian's final season with the Citizens. Will he then move to San Diego? Let us know what you think in the comments!
