Kevin De Bruyne, a Manchester City midfielder and the best midfielder of all time in the English Premier League (EPL), seems to be ready to leave in the end.

Spain's Todofichahes reported on the 26th (Korea time) that Kevin De Bruyne will move to the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS).

Todofichahes is preparing to end his time at Manchester City at the end of this season. San Diego FC are trying to confirm his signing. There is no progress in Mancita's negotiations and the possibility of leaving the team on a free agent has increased. 'San Diego is in contact with Derbrowner's side, indicating its willingness to meet its financial needs,' the news said.

A midfielder born in 1991, De Bruyne is still one of the best midfielders to represent the English Premier League (EPL) despite his not-so-distant age. He has been an ace since his transfer to Manchester City in 2015, and is ranked second in all-time help after Ryan Giggs (162 assists) with 113 assists in the EPL. The club also made tremendous achievements with Derbroughner, including six EPL wins, two FA Cup wins, five League Cup wins and one European Champions League victory.

The current situation in Derbroughner is not positive. Rumors of a transfer have been raised steadily since last summer. In the previous summer transfer market, it was reported that he was gradually approaching a transfer to Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia offered a whopping 1 million pounds (about 1.7 billion won) a week and 156 million pounds (about 270 billion won) a three-year salary. However, De Bruyne chose to stay in Manchester City instead of moving to Saudi Arabia.

Even though he chose to stay, the possibility of a transfer is still being discussed. Interested clubs such as Saudi Arabia and the U.S. have emerged one after another as speculation has emerged that Derbroughner and Manchester City, who are suffering from injuries this season, will not renew their contracts. It is known that Derbroughner is also considering a number of options. There was also the possibility of staying. Some British media reported that `Derbrowner could stay in Manchester City until next season. He also said he wants to play in the 2026 World Cup in North Korea and the U.S., and that he is more likely to be selected when he plays for the EPL than for a transfer to the U.S. or Saudi Arabia.

However, it seems that De Bruyne is putting more weight on the MLS transfer instead of signing an extension with Manchester City in the end. He evaluated that De Bruyne's transfer will have as much impact as Lionel Messi's transfer to Inter Miami.

Todofichahes added 'De Bruyne's transfer is similar to the impact of Messi's arrival in Miami, meaning a change in the league's times. It now indicates that he is ready to leave the EPL and start an exciting story in MLS.

Attention is also focusing on whether Der Bruyne, the best midfielder in the EPL, will write a new chapter in his career with his transfer to MLS this summer.
