Kevin De Bruyne’s Future: Will He Stay in the Premier League?
Kevin De Bruyne, one of the best football players in the world, might leave Manchester City soon.
His contract ends this summer, and many clubs from different countries want to sign him.
Some teams in the USA (MLS), Saudi Arabia, and South America are interested.
But De Bruyne has hinted that he may prefer staying in the English Premier League (EPL).

Aston Villa, a top club in England, is now being talked about as a possible new team for him. Let’s look at all the details about his future.
Why is Kevin De Bruyne Leaving Manchester City?
De Bruyne has been a star player for Manchester City for many years.
However, he is now 33 years old and has had some injuries in the last two seasons.
Because of this, Manchester City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, has decided not to extend his contract.
Even though he is getting older, De Bruyne is still a fantastic player.

When he is fit, he creates more chances to score than almost any other player in the Premier League. This season, only Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka comes close to his level.
Which Clubs Want to Sign Kevin De Bruyne?
Many clubs from different leagues are interested in signing De Bruyne:
MLS (USA) Clubs
At least four teams from Major League Soccer (MLS) want him.
The MLS is growing fast, and big stars like Lionel Messi have joined recently. De Bruyne could become the next big name there.
Saudi Arabian Clubs
Saudi Arabia has been signing famous players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar. They are ready to pay huge salaries, and they might try to bring De Bruyne too.
South American Clubs
Some top clubs in South America are also watching De Bruyne. However, moving there seems less likely because European football is at a higher level.
Aston Villa (Premier League)
The most interesting option is Aston Villa.
They are doing very well this season and will play in the Champions League next year.
Sky Sports reports that Villa has had “internal discussions” about signing De Bruyne.

One big reason why Villa could be a good choice is that De Bruyne does not want to move his family far away. If he joins Villa, he won’t have to leave England.
Como (Serie A, Italy)
An Italian club, Como, is also checking if they can sign him. But moving to Italy would mean leaving England, which may not be what De Bruyne wants.
Will Aston Villa Really Sign Him?
Aston Villa is a strong team, but signing De Bruyne won’t be easy. Here’s why:
High Salary Demand
De Bruyne earns around £400,000 per week at Manchester City.
Villa will have to pay a lot to match that. Reports say 96% of Villa’s income is already spent on player wages, which is very high compared to other clubs like Chelsea (72%).
Age and Injuries
De Bruyne is 33 and has been injured often in the last two years. Clubs will think carefully before spending big money on him.
However, Villa has taken risks before.

They signed players like Marco Asensio and Marcus Rashford, who were not needed by their old clubs (PSG and Manchester United). If De Bruyne stays fit, he could still be a game-changer for them.
What Does De Bruyne Want?
De Bruyne has given some hints about his future:
- He doesn’t want to move his family to a new country.
- He may prefer staying in the Premier League because he knows the league well.
- He still wants to play at the highest level, so joining a Champions League team like Villa could be attractive.
Final Thoughts: Where Will He Go?
Right now, Aston Villa seems like the most realistic option if he stays in England. MLS and Saudi clubs can offer more money, but De Bruyne might choose football over a big paycheck.
Fans will have to wait and see what happens. One thing is sure—wherever he goes, he will be a key player because of his incredible passing, vision, and experience.
