Aston Villa is being discussed as a new destination for Kevin the Bruyne.

Sky Sports reported on the 24th (Korea time) that `Aston Villa are interested in recruiting The Bruyne.' The Bruyne recently hinted at the possibility of staying in the English Premier League (EPL). The Bruyne says "All possibilities are open," he reportedly said.

Manchester City said on its website on the 4th that it will say goodbye to The Bruyne as his contract with The Bruyne expired this summer. "It will mark the end of a spectacular decade with our club."

The Bruyne also said on his SNS, "'It will be my last few months as a Manchester City player' 'This city, the club, the fans gave me everything, this will always be home to me. Every story has an end, but this story has been the best chapter of my life.'

Belgium native De Bruyne moved to Manchester City from Wolfsburg in the German Bundesliga in August 2015. The transfer fee was 55 million pounds (about 104 billion won). Manchester City's highest transfer fee was recorded at the time.

The jubilation was great. After Pep Guardiola was appointed a year later, he had his best share price. He has won the English Premier League six times. Last season, he won his first four consecutive games.

In the 2022-2023 season, he topped the European Champions League (UCL) and won the EPL and FA Cup, and built a golden tower of treble (three gold medals). The Bruyne presented a total of 19 Torpies to Manchester City, including the League Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup.

But he also couldn't go against the years. Injuries, including hamstrings (back muscles of the thighs), were repeated. This season, he has played in only 24 games in the EPL and 12 games. In all competitions, he played in 32 games, scoring only four goals and seven assists.

Guardiola said in an interview, `The decision (to not renew the contract with Der Bruyne) was made by the club. It was never easy to tell him that we decided not to be together."

The club then gave everything to Derbroughner, and he gave everything to us, too. It was a really special time looking back on the years. The good moments and difficult times will all be unforgettable."

The British Daily Mail is preparing for something surprising as the 'Man City' will see The Bruyne leave the club after 10 years. I'm planning to make a statue of him.'"

Currently, statues of legends representing the club, including Bang Sang Kompany, Sergio Aguero, David Silva and Mike Summerby, are erected in front of Etihad Stadium, Manchester City's home stadium. It is expected that The Bruyne will also be named in this row.

In a recent interview, The Bruyne expressed his disappointment at Manchester City. He was surprised by Manchester City's decision, but had to accept it. Honestly, I think I can still play more at this level, but I also understand making decisions from the club's perspective"I felt bad for a few days after the decision was made until the announcement was made. It was all the more because my family was not home because they were also on vacation. It was a bit of a strange situation, but I had to accept it."

Then "I said there was still something I could contribute to the team. I'm not 25 years old, but I still feel like I can make it.'

The Bruyne said "If the team had been in good shape, a different decision might have been made"I don't want to share the exact reason for the club's decision. I don't even know what they're thinking inside. From the club's point of view, this is a business decision and I think it was based on those reasons. The conversation was not very long. That's all they told me. I think I can still play more, but I have to accept the situation.'

The focus of attention is also the future of The Bruyne. He will become a free agent (FA) at the end of this season. Attention is focused on the next destination. In the meantime, the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) and the Saudi Arabian League have been mentioned as new stages of his activities. MLS is particularly active. While Inter Miami, where Lionel Messi is playing, has a strong love call, Chicago Fire, New York City and DC United want The Bruyne.

Remain in Europe is also a possibility. Paris Saint-Germain, where Lee Kang-in is playing, Galatasaray of Turkiye and Ferberbache are interested in recruiting The Bruyne. The Breiner still has the competitive edge to play in Europe. EPL is also being discussed here. The latest Chelsea legend Joe Cole "I hope The Bruyne returns to Chelsea." even left a comment.

The Bruyne is open to anything because you have to look at the whole picture"I'm watching sports, family, etc. together. Looking at what makes sense for me and my family. I can still play at a high level. We'll have to find out a little more before we make a decision."

In this situation, Aston Villa also jumped in. Aston Villa, led by coach Unai Emery, is one of the most developed clubs in recent years. This season also made a splash in the European Champions League and is aiming to advance to the European Champions League by ranking seventh in the league. Aston Villa have recently been active in recruiting players, and British media say that manager Emery, who uses technical players well, and The Bruyne can get along well.
