Six months before the end of his contract, Kevin De Bruyne, emblematic figure of Manchester City, could leave the club in unexpected circumstances. The Belgian midfielder, aged 33, has still not started discussions with Mancunian leaders regarding a possible extension. A situation which fuels departure rumors and arouses the interest of many clubs around the world.

Uncertainty over De Bruyne’s future

Interviewed by Het Nieuwsblad after City’s win over Leicester, De Bruyne confirmed there were no talks regarding a contract extension : “No, there is nothing at the moment. » A statement which, although sober, suggests a certain distance between the player and management.

With 399 matches played for the Sky Blues and a key role in the club’s recent successes, De Bruyne remains one of City’s most respected figures. However, from January 1, he will be free to negotiate with third-party clubs for a free transfer at the end of the season.

Fenerbahçe and other clubs already on the lookout

According to The Times, Fenerbahçe is among the clubs interested in the Belgian. The Turkish club are reportedly preparing a net offer of £250,000 per month to convince De Bruyne to stay in Europe. Other clubs like San Diego FC and Al Nassr, in the United States and Saudi Arabia, are also closely monitoring his situation and could offer lucrative contracts to attract the Belgium international.

However, we should not rule out the possibility that Manchester City would make him a last minute offer to extend the adventure. De Bruyne, although nearing the end of his career, remains an influential player and could still make a significant contribution to the Citizens.
