New Front-Runner Emerges in Kevin De Bruyne Transfer Race

Kevin De Bruyne appears set to continue his career in Major League Soccer, with Chicago Fire leading the race to sign the Manchester City midfielder this summer, according to The Athletic.

The report claims that Chicago Fire have secured priority negotiation rights with the 33-year-old Belgian star, ahead of other MLS sides such as New York City FC and D.C. United. This puts them in pole position to land one of Europe’s most decorated midfielders.

Sources close to the player indicate that De Bruyne prefers a move to MLS over Saudi Arabia, despite reported interest from Saudi Pro League clubs.

Earlier in April, De Bruyne announced he will leave Manchester City at the end of the 2024/25 season, closing a historic chapter that includes numerous Premier League titles and a Champions League triumph.
