After announcing that he will leave Manchester City after the season, after ten years spent with the Sky Blues, Kevin de Bruyne could well take over the management of the United States. But when he was previously announced in San Diego, it was ultimately alongside Lionel Messi in Inter Miami that the Belgian could evolve.
It would indeed be David Beckham's dream to see the 2022 world champion and the winner of the 2023 Champions League play together. To do this, Inter Miami leaders would have a special clause that would allow them to discuss exclusively with “KDB”, as indicated by the American sports media The Athletic.
It is “the discovery clause”. Each MLS team can designate five players with whom they can chat without any other club can outbid. Inter Miami would therefore have written the name of Kevin de Bruyne on this list, which allows him to carry out negotiations in peace.
De Bruyne will have to make a financial effort
The financial aspect could however block an agreement between Inter Miami and Citizen. If the Red Devil engages with the Floridian club, he will have to divide his current salary by 33 to receive a salary of around 795,000 euros. A big effort will therefore be made by the tenth best paid player on the planet on the 2024-2025 season, according to the classification established by
Forbes.
In Major League Soccer, only three players from each team can be paid above the maximum salary ceiling. At Inter Miami, Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets were designated. It would therefore be necessary to wait until one of them leaves the franchise that Kevin de Bruyne can receive a greater salary.
The Inter Miami will however have to pay attention to certain Saudi clubs, which would be ready to pay a fortune to attract the attacking midfielder of Manchester City to Saudi Pro League.
