3. San Diego FC

The Sporting Director of San Diego disclosed that he has discussed a potential summer transfer to Major League Soccer with Kevin De Bruyne.

San Diego FC, the newest Major League Soccer team, have made the Belgium midfielder their top target for the summer transfer window. Now that De Bruyne has announced his exit from Man City after the end of the season, they will attempt to sign the player in the summer. Tyler Heaps, the sporting director for San Diego, has also acknowledged that he has had transfer discussions with the 33-year-old.

Speaking to The Sun, Heaps said: “Those rumours, I don’t know where they come from. I talked to the agent. The agent has many players, obviously. Every time I see it, I say, ‘Are you the one that is saying all this stuff?’ He’s a fantastic footballer and he loves this area.

2. Galatasaray

Foot Mercato’s most recent rumours indicate that Galatasaray have an interest in signing De Bruyne, who may play a significant role in the team’s future endeavours. But the race for the 33-year-old playmaker has gotten much fiercer, so the Turkish powerhouses are not alone in the race.

The fact that Kevin De Bruyne’s contract with Manchester City will expire at the end of the 2024–2025 campaign and that he confirmed his exit himself is one of the reasons the Turkish club will test the water along with other teams. A number of clubs, notably Galatasaray, may find the Belgian even more appealing as he will be leaving the Cityzens on a free transfer.

1. Al-Nassr

Al-Nassr are also among the clubs keen on signing the player. They are “confident” in their ability to entice Kevin de Bruyne of Manchester City to Saudi Arabia with a huge contract.

Al-Nassr are apparently prepared to pay De Bruyne an unbelievable £1 million per week, which would be a huge rise from his current £400,000 salary. TEAMtalk claims that the club is eager to go to unusual measures to get De Bruyne to the Saudi Pro League. De Bruyne has previously expressed hesitancy to leave Europe for a move to the Middle East, so his decision is uncertain despite the financial benefit.
