Aston Villa eye Man City De Bruyne

Aston Villa are exploring the possibility of making a move for Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne as the Belgian prepares to bring his time at the Etihad to a close at the end of the season.

The 33-year-old midfielder recently confirmed that this campaign will be his last in Manchester City colours, with his current contract set to expire this summer. Villa are among several clubs monitoring the situation and are understood to have held internal talks regarding a potential approach.

De Bruyne is expected to carefully consider his next step, with family stability and lifestyle playing a central role in his decision-making. That measured approach has caught the attention of a number of Premier League sides who believe he could be tempted to remain in England.

Interest in the Belgian maestro isn’t limited to the Premier League. In the United States, four Major League Soccer clubs—Inter Miami, Chicago Fire, NYCFC and D.C. United—have all made initial enquiries regarding both the sporting and financial aspects of a possible deal.

While no formal offers have yet been tabled, his impending departure from Manchester City is set to spark significant interest across multiple continents, with Aston Villa potentially positioning themselves as an ambitious contender for one of Europe’s finest midfielders.
