Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is all set to leave the club at the end of the season, and MLS side Charlotte FC are prepared to sign him in the summer.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Kevin De Bruyne has been offered $30 million per season to join MLS club Charlotte FC. It is a significant amount of money, and it would not be a surprise if the midfielder is attracted to the idea of joining them.
The Belgian midfielder will be out of contract at the end of the season, and he has decided not to renew his contract with the Premier League champions. The veteran playmaker has been an exceptional performer for them, and he is undoubtedly a Premier League legend. It will be interesting to see if he decides to move to America in the summer.
Charlotte FC have done quite well this season, and the MLS high-flyers are hoping to sign the world-class midfielder in the coming weeks. If they manage to get the deal done, it would be a masterstroke for them. The Belgian midfielder is still very much at the level where he can put in world-class performances and elevate the status of American football.
De Bruyne’s arrival would also add some global and commercial appeal to the MLS side. Signing a player of his quality for free could prove to be a major bargain as well. It remains to be seen of the situation develops.
De Bruyne keen on a new challenge
The Belgian playmaker has proven himself in European football, especially with Manchester City. He has guided them to a treble and multiple major trophies, including the UEFA Champions League. He has nothing left to prove in English football, and this is the right time for him to move on and try out a new challenge.
With several top-class players playing in MLS, it has become an attractive destination for players, and it is no surprise that the Belgian is on their radar. As for Manchester City, they will need to replace him adequately. He has been a club legend for them, and they need a world-class player to fill the void he has left.
