At the end of his contract with Manchester City next June, Kevin De Bruyne is arousing envy. Latest rumor: a meeting with his former coach José Mourinho at Fenerbahçe. The Turkish club, looking for reinforcements to catch up with Galatasaray, is dreaming big with the Belgian at the top of the list, according to
Fanatik.
A Turkish dream for Fenerbahçe
Under the leadership of its president Ali Koç, Fenerbahçe is banking on ambitious transfers. After convincing Mourinho last summer, the club could try to attract De Bruyne, who would join his compatriots Dries Mertens and Michy Batshuayi in Istanbul. An offer from January would be considered, although Manchester City, despite their current difficulties, do not seem willing to release their playing master before the end of the season.
De Bruyne keeps all options open
At 33 years old, and despite recurring injuries, De Bruyne remains a major asset. If an extension with Manchester City seems compromised, other destinations could open up: Saudi Arabia, the United States, or an adventure in Türkiye alongside Mourinho. The Belgian midfielder has already expressed his openness to an exotic destination, although City hope to restart discussions as the summer approaches.
