In a development that could reshape the Premier League landscape, Manchester City’s iconic midfielder, Kevin De Bruyne, is reportedly being eyed by Aston Villa as he approaches the end of his contract this summer.
According to a report by Sky Sports (source), the Midlands-based club has shown a strong interest in acquiring the services of the 33-year-old Belgian, who is set to become a free agent at the conclusion of the current season. Villa have reportedly begun internal deliberations regarding the potential signing of De Bruyne, a player whose influence on the pitch has defined Manchester City’s dominance over the past decade.
While Aston Villa are keen to bring in the experienced midfielder, they are not alone in their pursuit. Several Major League Soccer (MLS) teams, including Inter Miami, Chicago Fire, D.C. United, and New York City FC (NYCFC), have also expressed interest in signing the playmaker, making this summer’s transfer race one to watch closely.
De Bruyne has publicly confirmed that he will be leaving Manchester City after nearly a decade of remarkable success, during which he lifted 16 major trophies, including six Premier League titles and a coveted UEFA Champions League crown. His departure marks the end of an era for the reigning champions.
Interestingly, former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has suggested that De Bruyne consider a move to City’s arch-rivals Manchester United, echoing sentiments that would shock fans across both sides of the city.
If De Bruyne makes the move to Aston Villa, it would mirror a growing trend of star players opting for new challenges within the Premier League, similar to loan transfers like Marcus Rashford’s stint away from United.
