Is Kevin the Bruyne forced to head to Saudi Arabia.
David Onstein, an English Premier League (EPL) transfer market expert who plays for The Athletic, said in November last year that "The Bruyne has three options. It is a one-year contract renewal with Manchester City, a move to Saudi Arabia and a move to the MLS."
It has also been widely reported that The Bruyne prefers to go to the U.S. rather than to Saudi Arabia because of his family. If it is decided to go to the United States, the possibility of going to San Diego has been steadily raised. In January, The Athletic again analyzed The Bruyne's next destination, saying "San Diego remains on The Bruyne's next destination list. MLS upstart teams and more suitors are trying to figure out how much they can offer him," he said, adding additional reports.
San Diego is a new MLS team founded in 2023. He has participated in MLS since the 2025 season and has been making a splash at the beginning of the season. Juan Mata, who played for Chelsea and Manchester United in the past, and Manny Machado, a famous baseball player, are co-owners. San Diego is a new team, but it seems like they want to bring The Bruyne in the summer to raise the spotlight.
But the possibility of The Browner's San Diego suddenly disappeared. The British Mirror said on the 24th (Korea time) "San Diego has admired The Bruyne for a long time. Tyler Hibs, sports director, revealed a conversation he had with The Bruyne agent. But the Hibs director said it was difficult to recruit The Bruyne because of his salary demands," he reported.
Hibs director "I spoke to The Bruyne's agent. But the agent has a lot of players. De Bruyne is a fantastic player, and he loves this area. He always spends his vacation here, but I don't know where that transfer rumor comes from. I also had a conversation with The Bruyne's agent, but given the expectations that came out of it, the wages don't fit our budget" he answered honestly.
MLS operates a league-level salary cap system (salary cap) but can designate three players who are not included in the salary cap through a system called David Beckham Rule. The three players are not included in the salary cap. If San Diego has the funds, it doesn't matter if it pays The Bruyne an astronomical salary, but San Diego seems to be unable to listen to The Bruyne's demands.
If it is difficult to go to the U.S., The Bruyne has only one option left to go to Saudi Arabia. This is because Manchester City has already decided to break up with The Bruyne. The Bruyne also admitted directly that he was greatly shaken by the astronomical salary offered by Saudi Arabia. Al-Nasr or Al-Hilal is being discussed if The Bruyne heads to Saudi Arabia. You might see a combination of Cristiano Ronaldo and The Bruyne.
