De Bruyne current contract expires in 2025Club yet to make contact over new dealBelgian intrigued by concept of retiring in MLSWHAT HAPPENED?
According to , the Manchester City maestro is starting to think about what his future may entail when his contract expires in 2025 at the Etihad. The Manchester-based club have notably been reluctant to hand-out contract extensions to their aging players, with an example being Ilkay Gundogan leaving for Barcelona on a free transfer.
The report adds that City would negate all emotional attachment to their superstar if an offer in the range of $115m (£90m) arrived from Saudi Arabia amid interest. However, De Bruyne himself has made his feelings clear on a potential transfer to the Middle East: he would rather move to MLS.

The attacking midfielder still believes, however, that he has plenty left to give at the highest level in the game. However, at 32-years-old, he is starting to prioritize what would be best for his family too, and the thought of retiring in the United States is a much more appealing thought for the Belgian.
With 18-months left on his current deal at the Etihad, the Cityzens have yet to make any contact with him regarding a new deal.
DID YOU KNOW?
De Bruyne could be inspired by Lionel Messi's current role in MLS with Inter Miami. The Argentine superstar has taken center-stage with the league, and the Herons. If the Man City superstar were to land Stateside, he could look to pursue a similar contract to that of Messi's where he will earn nearly $150m over two years.
