The football world was left in shock after Kevin De Bruyne announced his departure from Manchester City at the end of the 2024-2025 season. With a decade of incredible performances under his belt, the Belgian playmaker expressed his gratitude to the club and its fans, stating, “This city. This club. These people… gave me everything. I had no choice but to give them everything back!”
Having etched his name as a club legend with 106 goals and 174 assists in 413 matches, De Bruyne is now looking towards the next chapter of his career. Speculation is rife about his next destination, with reports suggesting that Inter Miami, the MLS team co-owned by David Beckham and Lionel Messi, has thrown its hat into the ring.
While negotiations with Saudi side Neom are said to be at an advanced stage, De Bruyne is rumored to be leaning towards a move to MLS. Inter Miami’s ambitious sporting project, which already boasts the likes of Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, and Messi, could provide the perfect blend of competitiveness and lifestyle for the 33-year-old midfielder.
Although San Diego had also shown interest in De Bruyne, financial constraints may hinder their chances of securing the Belgian’s signature. If Inter Miami manages to pull off this high-profile signing, it would not only be a major coup for the club but also a significant milestone for MLS, showcasing the league’s growing allure for top-tier talent.
