MLS, Saudi Arabia or Europe: What’s next for Kevin de Bruyne?

One of the best Premier League Players in the modern era are looking for a new club after the outbreak of news in early April Manchester City It will not provide Kevin de Bruyne A new contract at the end of the 2024-25 season. The news was not a great shock given the recent injuries and the city’s need to re-invention after a campaign to forget it, but the playmaker at all-188 goals and assistants in 279 matches in the city, provided six titles in the league, the Champions League crown and many other awards-the rumors mill were sent to a high degree.
Thus, where will he go? There is a great interest from within the Football League Reports appeared last week Lionel Messi has acquired the DE Bruyne’s MLS’s MLS rights, which makes DE Bruyne to fall there – but it is far from the guarantee. the Saudi Professional League It is said that he is also interested, but we should not exclude a step elsewhere in Europe as well. However, ESPN Rob Dawson, Lizzy Becherano and Jeff Carlisle correspondents answer some big questions about his next step.
Is Kevin de Bruyne concerned with moving to MLS?
There is a specific interest on his part. I have attended Mls Games in the past, especially in Los Angeles, and the United States are the perfect place to move with a young family.
But there was also interest from Saudi Arabia, and it was not long before, his agent toured the main clubs (SPL) in the Saudi League. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia may make more money than MLS, but it is a larger lifestyle.
One of the issues for both MLS and SPL is that after a decade in the Premier League, both the league will be seen as a step. Sources told ESPN that De Bruyne is still able to play at the highest level and was open to renewing his contract in Man City with the same conditions.
He asked after winning Crystal Palace on His next stepLeave the door open. He even suggested that his career in England may end, ViaPlay narration“Whatever the available project, I am ready to listen. I love football. I love to play football and if AA Nice Project comes, and my family is good in that, then we can make a decision.”
It is difficult to believe that there is a declining place in the Premier League, but it is possible that it will find a house in the last five leagues in Europe-perhaps or Italy. If these offers do not arrive, the opinion is that it is preferable to move to MLS across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as long as it is the right club and financial details can be determined. Dawson
What can Miami do with the rights to discover MLS De Bruyne?
Major League Soccer employs the “discovery rights” system where each club can add up to five players to this list, while maintaining the exclusive right to start negotiations with the player without the need to compete with other clubs throughout the league.
As the latest expansion team, MLS San Diego FC gave seven holes in their discovery menu. They previously registered De Bruyne in the list before being broken due to concerns about a possible salary – the teams reserve the ability to the list and remove players from their list at any time. Then he added it in Miami to their list, while keeping the right to discuss the potential contract.
A source told ESPN that the teams around the league are not notified when the player’s condition in the discovery rights system changes. Instead, the league uses an online database called MLS Connect, which allows the teams to check the availability of the player and start the registration process if another club does not claim it.
In the case of De Bruyne, it will be automatically on the waiting list of any team other than the Inter Miami that he tried to register on the platform. However, the program does not reveal the club that carries the right to a specific player, as the discovery lists are not provided to other clubs to display.
If another team wants to sign De Bruyne, the team’s sports director or general manager will have to negotiate a deal with Inter Miaami to obtain “discovery rights” for the former Manchester City player for public allocation funds. A source told ESPN that the widespread procedure – known as the “discovery process” – begins to send $ 50,000 to the league that will be held in the guarantee.
According to the league rules, “the club will have with the player in the discovery list after that five days (or three days during the secondary transfer window) either (1) accepting public allocation funds and passing the right to sign the player or (2) make the player a real and objective offer.”
In addition, when negotiating with a player, the team interested in the player must also prove that they have a capacity on the individual at a time when the contract begins. If the team does not have a current margin for the player at a time when the offer is made, the club must make plans for the league on how the list complies with the rules and regulations when the aforementioned player finally joins.
Inter Miaami’s decision to register De Bruyne can stem from the real desire to sign the player in the coming months, or a tactic to force another club to trade for rights in an attempt to obtain public allocation funds, which is how the teams build lists in MLS.
Looking at the popularity of De Bruyne and Inter Miaami Limited Stening, the league source speculates ESPN that the team is likely trying to earn money to register De Bruyne. – Busrano
If Miami wants to sign de Bruyne, can the team suit it under the salary budget?
The answer is yes, but it is complicated. It was granted, this is a description that fits many of the MLS transportation due to the rules of mystery surrounding the player’s movement, but this is the situation here.
In this case, De Bruyne could not have been signed as a specific player – a player whose salary is not limited to the salary head in the league – at least in the beginning. Miami already has three DPS – the maximum allowed – in Jordi Albaand Sergio Busquets and Lionel Messi. Some DPS can be transferred to non -DPS and infected with the salary cover by using a mechanism called targeted customization funds, which are mainly a bucket of money that each team receives to reduce the player’s effect on the maximum so that DPS is not considered. But there are limits.
If the player achieves more than $ 1.74 million annually, he will not be able to reach the maximum lands other than the Democratic Party. All All Aba, Busquets and Messi are all fine northern $ 1.74 million, and therefore not qualified TAM. This means that De Bruyne will have to sign a contract that does not pay more than 871,875 dollars-half the amount of the MAX-TAM mentioned above-the rest of 2025.

Will Kevin de Bruyne fit inside and outside the stadium on Inter Miaami?
Lizi Piererao says that Inter Miaami will face more difficult time to save space for Kevin de Bruyne than they do.
Can the deal then be organized to pay it much more – for example $ 15 million a year – in the following years of the contract? It could be the case, but this must be done through the club’s option years on the contract, which means that the money will not be guaranteed for De Bruyne. After 2025, Miami can decide that De Bruyne is not suitable for any reason and that the player will be a free agent. Will de Bruyne take such a risk?
Such a deal will also have to survive from checking the league players section, which agrees to all players ’contracts. If the player is high -level enough, approval will have to come from MLS EVP for the player and relationships of the player and relationships of the player and relationships, and in rare cases, the MLS Don Garber Commissioner himself.
One of the sources told ESPN that Miami will be pressured on the sincerity of the option years, and he will have to testify, “There is no promise that they will practice any options and that there are no other agreements with the player, and that the same contract represents the actual conditions of the deal.”
This degree of scrutiny is similar to what happened with Zlatan Ibrahimovic when he fell with No galaxy In 2018, he was initially signed on the TAM deal for two years for the year 2018, only for his deal to get a restart in 2019 for $ 7.2 million. The opposition teams shouted, on the pretext that the galaxy played mainly with four Dubai ports in 2018, but the deal was allowed to pass.
The following season, with Ibrahimovic now, was on Los Angeles, Jettison Giovani Dos Santos For nothing to be compatible with the list. After his departure, Ibrahimovic Also acquired A royal share in Side Side Side Hammarby, which was also owned by the owners of Galaxy Aeg.
Miami will face a similar challenge in terms of compliance with the list, although Alba, Busquets, Messi and Messi and Luis Suarez All outside the contract after 2025. A current Dubai ports can choose to reduce wages, sign another club, or retire.
Given that De Bruyne should play in 2025 to get a large discount based on his salary with Man City, what prevents Miami from making a side deal with him until he was fully made? It is a fair question, given that Miami has been punished in the past to rid the rules of the list by not reporting a total compensation for the player, and to play with many Dubai ports. A source confirmed to ESPN that MLS has a compliance with these deals, which has become more powerful in the two years to three years.
What are the elements that can blow the deal in the end? MLS decides that De Bruyne is not qualified for TAM and forced him as a dedicated player. Or, of course, de Bruyne decides that he has not completely finished with European football yet, or the MLS team can also enter the mixture as well.

If not Miami, what other MLS teams can sign?
On Wednesday, Fabrizio Romano reported that the Chicago fire emerged as a possible destination. The subsequent report by The Athletic indicated that DC United and New York City FC have also expressed interest. A fire spokesman refused to comment, but as a landing place, Chicago is logical.
At the present time, the fire contains two DP openings that were calculated with the front Hugo Quibers And the wing Jonathan Pamba. Under the leadership of the coach/Football Director Gregg Berhalter, De Bruyne was well suitable for Dubai’s third ports of the team.
In terms of financial affairs, this should not be a problem with Chicago. The fire was linked to the Brazilian star Neymar Earlier this year, so it is clear that they have the means and the desire to get a deal with De Bruyne.
Chicago will also have to negotiate with Miami to obtain the DE Bruyne MLS rights, which is likely to require a fire that sends several hundred thousand dollars from GAM to sad. As of February 28, the fire had a little less than $ 450,000 in GAM. Carlal
If not MLS, what could be the next for De Bruyne?
This really depends on whether De Bruyne wants to step down or not.
Despite many injuries in recent years, only 33 and may feel that interest from MLS and Saudi Arabia will remain there within two years. This would give him time to take a last step in Europe, but the issue is where he goes? There is unlikely that there will be interest from the Premier League with its current salary of about 400,000 pounds per week.
Imagine that he will welcome attention from a place like BarcelonaBut they are struggling financially as it is. First division league Clubs have taken kicks on the older players in the past. His former colleague in the city Kyle Walker – Who is the largest- move to AC Milano On loan in January. Beyond that, he can return to your gene BelgiumWhere he started his career, if he feels emotionally with his career ending.
If De Bruyne wants to stay in Europe, its options will be limited – and even after that, he may be forced to take a wage reduction to achieve this. The most likely scenario is still a transfer to the United States or Saudi Arabia, and at the present time, MLS has the edge. Dawson
