From Bruyne, 33, will leave Manchester City at the end of his contract with the Pep Guardiola team at the end of June. He is expected to sign a lucrative contract in the United States during the 2025 summer transfer window.
The Chicago Fire and Inter Miami are among the clubs which would be interested in a free transfer from De Bruyne later this year, although the 33 -year -old has suggested that he would like to stay in England if he received an offer from a Premier League club.
Aston Villa was presented as a surprise destination for De Bruyne, while Chelsea would be open to a re-signature of the Belgian midfielder, 11 years after sold it to the VFL Wolfsburg, club of Bundesliga.
However, Matt Law du Telegraph confirmed that it was “unlikely” that Chelsea will come back from Bruyne to the club this summer, despite the wish of Enzo Maresca to recruit several experienced players.
Kevin de Bruyne, star of Man City
The Blues coach would be interested in players like Harry Kane, Victor Osimhen and Ollie Watkins, the club being looking for a new striker. He hinted at his frustration in the face of the lack of experience he has before Chelsea's victory against Everton on Saturday.
“We are not only young”Maresca told journalists. “We are the youngest Premier League team. And the second in Europe. Watch the matches against Brighton outside and watch our bench: we have three players born in 2006. ”
“I don't remember years ago, for example, when (Didier) Drogba was there and the manager changed Drogba who was on the bench. Fernando Torres? I don't know. I don't remember. Now, we replace Nico (Jackson) with 2006, and Tyrique (George) with the training center. You see that? I see that.
Why Chelsea will not recruit Kevin de Bruyne
One of the main reasons why Chelsea has decided not to negotiate with De Bruyne is that his arrival would create a puzzle in terms of selection with Cole Palmer, who also excels in the post of attacking midfielder.
The English international struggles to regain his best level after a period of scarcity in front of the goal, according to some sources, and he is not interested in a departure from Chelsea, despite the rumors of a possible transfer to Liverpool or Manchester City.
Palmer has scored 22 goals in 40 appearances in all competitions this season, but he has not scored in his last 17 games for the club, since mid-January.
