Kevin De Bruyne, the Belgian midfielder, has indicated that he is open to joining a Premier League rival when he leaves Manchester City this summer. The 33-year-old player, who has spent a decade with City, is evaluating various options, including offers from Major League Soccer (MLS) and clubs in Saudi Arabia. De Bruyne has expressed a preference for European clubs but has not ruled out staying in England, stating he is 'open' to new projects that are beneficial both sportively and for his family. Recently, the Chicago Fire, an MLS team, approached De Bruyne for a potential free transfer, showcasing strong interest in attracting him to their project. De Bruyne is expected to assess his options in the coming days and weeks, which may include a return to the Premier League, where he previously played for Chelsea. Meanwhile, Manchester City is reportedly preparing to pay Bayer Leverkusen's €150 million asking price for Florian Wirtz as a potential replacement for De Bruyne.
