Kevin De Bruyne could be on course for a sensational move to Inter Miami, with reports linking the Manchester City icon to a potential partnership with Lionel Messi in MLS.
Kevin De Bruyne could soon be trading Manchester for Miami, with reports suggesting the Manchester City legend is considering a move to Inter Miami to play alongside Lionel Messi once his contract expires this summer.
At 33, De Bruyne remains one of the most sought-after players on the market. While Saudi Pro League clubs are reportedly lining up massive offers, the idea of linking up with Messi in MLS is said to be gaining serious traction, according to Football Insider.
Inter Miami has become a global magnet for star talent since Messi’s arrival, and adding De Bruyne would further boost the club’s profile and on-pitch quality. The Belgian playmaker’s ability to control games from midfield could be the perfect complement to Messi’s creative brilliance.
Although the MLS league office would reportedly prefer De Bruyne to become the marquee face of the newly founded San Diego FC, the player’s camp has not ruled out any options. San Diego is understood to have made a formal approach, but Miami — and Messi — could have the edge.
De Bruyne represents himself in negotiations, meaning he’s personally fielding interest and offers from clubs worldwide as he evaluates his next step. With his 10-year spell at City nearing an end, fans at the Etihad are bracing for a farewell — but with full respect and admiration for one of their greatest-ever players.
“I feel great and can still play at a very high level,” De Bruyne said recently. “I haven’t made a decision yet. I’ll see what’s best for me and my family.”
If the stars align, Messi and De Bruyne could form one of the most exciting duos in MLS history, marking yet another chapter in the league’s rise as a destination for global icons.
