De Bruyne arrived at the Etihad from VfL Wolfsburg in 2015 and has been a key player in Pep Guardiola's squad for a decade now. The Belgian's contributions on the pitch for City have earned him a place among the club's legends as well as put him alongside record holders in the Premier League.

Four MLS teams — Inter Miami, the Chicago Fire, NYCFC and D.C. United — have expressed interest in signing Kevin De Bruyne. According to multiple club sources familiar with the discussions, speaking on the condition of anonymity, the four sides have begun exploratory talks aimed at bringing the Manchester City midfielder to the United States.
