A significant chapter in Manchester City’s history may soon close as Kevin De Bruyne reportedly edges closer to leaving the club after nearly a decade of service.
According to The Athletic, the 33-year-old Belgian playmaker is considering a move to the MLS, with San Diego emerging as a likely destination at the end of the season.
De Bruyne, a key figure in Manchester City’s success, is said to favor California if he transitions to Major League Soccer.
San Diego’s franchise would need to file a “discovery claim” to secure his recruitment rights, a standard MLS mechanism for acquiring players who have never competed in the league. Should the move materialize, it would mark a new chapter in De Bruyne’s illustrious career, bringing his creativity and experience to the rapidly growing American soccer scene.
