Kevin the Bruyne still wants to show his competitiveness in Europe.
The Times reported on the 16th (Korea Standard Time) "The Bruyne has received the attention of the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise Inter Miami and Saudi Arabian clubs, but he will look at all the options he receives from European teams before deciding on his next move."
Manchester City said on its website on the 4th that `Man City will say goodbye to club icon The Bruyne at the end of this season. "The Bruyne, who has been in the midfield for 10 years, will leave the club as a free agent when he finishes the season."
The Bruyne is considered the best attacking midfielder in the history of the English Premier League (EPL). De Bruyne, who moved to Manchester City in the mid-2010s, has made a huge career so far, including six league wins, one Champions League win, two FA Cup wins, and five Carabao Cup wins. He scored 107 goals and 177 assists in Manchester City alone, creating a legendary record.
The U.S. or Saudi Arabia has emerged as the next destination for The Bruyne, who broke up with Manchester City. The Bruyne once interviewed that he was bound to be shaken by the temptation of huge oil money. Still, there have been reports that they would prefer to go to the U.S. rather than Saudi Arabia for their families. There were also reports from leading media outlets that Inter Miami, where Lionel Messi is playing, is even seeking to recruit The Bruyne.

But after announcing his split from Manchester City, The Bruyne added: "Honestly, I don't know. It hasn't been long since I decided to leave. It's really hard because I can't decide anything in a week. I haven't seen my family since the announcement. So I have to talk to (my family) and see which team you want me to be. If a club offers a good project and persuades me, I can do it. I'm not the youngest player, but I can still perform at a very high level", he replied that he had not yet decided his destination.
As you can feel from the interview, it was The Bruyne who was confident of his skills. Judging from the reference to the word project, it seems that there is still a passion for the trophy. If The Bruyne thought of heading to the United States and Saudi Arabia, in fact, there is no reason to think too much about the project.
Although it is impossible to guarantee that it will remain in Europe unconditionally, the decision is expected to vary depending on which club approaches The Bruyne.You may see The Bruyne wearing a uniform other than a Manchester City uniform and going through the EPL. However, in Europe, considering the salary De Bruyne received at Manchester City, it will be difficult to have a player unless it is a big club.
