Premier League side Aston Villa are reportedly weighing up a sensational move for Kevin De Bruyne as the Manchester City legend prepares for life after the Etihad.
According to Sky Sports, Villa have held internal talks about snapping up the 33-year-old midfield maestro when he becomes a free agent this summer. This development adds another twist to the De Bruyne transfer saga, which has already attracted MLS giants like Inter Miami, D.C. United, Chicago Fire, and NYCFC, as well as Serie B club Como, co-owned by Dele Alli.
De Bruyne stunned fans when news broke that City would not offer him a new contract, ending his trophy-laden 10-year spell at the club. With six Premier League titles, a Champions League, and 16 trophies to his name, the Belgian remains one of the most decorated players in the league’s modern history.
While Roy Keane has encouraged a dramatic switch to Manchester United, Villa currently enjoying a resurgence under Unai Emery could present a more structured and ambitious project.
The midfield magician is hoping to end his final City season on a high, with an FA Cup semi-final clash against Nottingham Forest at Wembley coming up this Sunday.
Whether he stays in the Premier League, heads to America, or makes a bold Serie B move, one thing’s certain Kevin De Bruyne’s next chapter is the summer’s hottest watch.
