Earlier, as his contract with Manchester City approached the end, there has been a possibility that De Bruyne will leave the team this summer. This is because he is 33 years old this season, not showing as much performance as he did in his heyday. He has made several mistakes in the pass, which was his specialty, and his skills are not as good as they used to be.
He suffered a hamstring injury earlier this season, especially hitting him hard. As the club is receiving the highest salary in the Premier League, signs have been detected that it is burdensome for the club.
However, there is still a possibility that De Bruyne will remain in the team after this season.
Team Talk reported on the 3rd (Korea time) "Derbrowner has recently been linked to rumors of a transfer to Major League Soccer (MLS), but the possibility of choosing to stay in Manchester City has increased."
According to the media, "The Bruyne's goal is to play for the Belgian national team at the 2026 World Cup in North and Central America, and for this purpose, it is still more advantageous to play in the Premier League."We believe that the possibility of joining the national team could be reduced if we move to MLS or Saudi professional league, and as a result, we are willing to remain even if our role in Manchester City is reduced."
A weekly cut seems essential for Derbroughner to stay in Manchester City. The weekly salary of 400,000 pounds (about 740 million won) could be reduced to 150,000 pounds (about 270 million won).
Manchester City is seeking to sign a new contract worth 150,000 pounds a week with Derbroughner, the British Daily Mirror reported, adding that it will offer some additional bonuses to compensate for the pay cut.

In addition, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola also wants De Bruyne to stay in the team for another season.
Guardiola said in a recent interview that `Even players over the age of 30 can still play an important role in the team's future"Kevin and the club will decide his future. Players with current contracts are expected to be with us next season as well."
Derbrowner is also interested in playing in the U.S. in the long term, but for now, he is known to prefer MLS to the Saudi professional league. However, the possibility of delaying the MLS transfer for the 2026 World Cup has increased.
When he joined Manchester City in August 2015, Derbrowner was a mixed player with expectations and concerns, but has since become a legend of the team. Tottenham's Son Heung-min also made the EPL stage at the same time. Both players have special friendships as players who played in the German Bundesliga when they moved to the EPL. If De Bruyne can extend his contract, he can play with Son Heung-min in the EPL for one more season.
So far, he has won two Premier League Player of the Year awards (2019-2020 and 2021-2022 seasons) at Manchester City and has won numerous trophies.
Manchester City is preparing to strengthen its power in preparation for the departure of veteran Manchester City players such as De Bruyne.
TeamTalk added: "Man City are looking to sign additional midfielders, with eyes on Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton and Newcastle United's Bruno Guimarães"In particular, the possibility of a transfer was raised as the main goalkeeper Ederson entered the final year of his contract, and FC Porto's Diogo Costa emerged as a strong candidate as a substitute.
