Premier League
The San Diego FC aims to make a media splash in the MLS with the signing of Kevin de Bruyne, the current standout player from Manchester City. The possibility of the talented European player landing in the American league has created high expectations, as the Californian team is in the process of assembling its squad for its debut season in 2025.
De Bruyne's interest in the MLS instead of Saudi Arabia has been an encouraging sign for San Diego FC, which has already had initial discussions with the player's representatives. Although negotiations are still in early stages, there is a mutual attraction between both parties. However, sources indicate that the speculated annual salary figures around $20 million may not be accurate, and negotiations could take time to mature.
San Diego FC Wants to Sign Kevin de Bruyne
De Bruyne's contract with Manchester City expires next summer, allowing room for a move if the English club and the player opt not to extend their bond. However, Pep Guardiola's team is also keen on retaining the Belgian midfielder, a key figure in their multiple national and international title achievements.
In the past, De Bruyne has considered career alternatives, including offers from the Saudi Pro League, yet he seems inclined to prioritize options aligning with his family and football goals, similar to Lionel Messi's choice of the MLS over Saudi Arabia. If the signing goes through, San Diego FC would position itself as one of the MLS protagonists, adding De Bruyne to players like Chucky Lozano and Paddy McNair for their first challenge in American soccer.
