Various landing spots have been mooted for the Premier League and Champions League title winner, from America to the Saudi Pro League. De Bruyne is yet to reveal what his future plans entail, but he would be welcomed with open arms in South Florida.
WHAT SERGIO AGUERO SAID
Ex-City and Argentina striker Aguero has told of De Bruyne potentially heading to the United States: “I’ve read something in that vein but nothing official yet. I’d assume many people out there want him playing on their teams. We’ll see what happens soon enough. If it’s Inter Miami, I think [De Bruyne] will pair up very nicely with Leo.”
Aguero is also based in Miami and added when asked if former team-mate De Bruyne could become his neighbour: “Who knows? Would be nice to have him across the fence though.”

City’s all-time leading goalscorer went on to say of the legacy that De Bruyne will be leaving behind in Manchester: “When a player of that calibre leaves, it’s bound to be an emotional affair. Particularly a player of that historical importance.
“Seeing all the displays of affection that the fans showed him during the last few games, I’m glad Kevin is receiving this well-deserved recognition. For everything he did to consolidate the team into what it’s become, for what’s he’s done inside and outside the field. He’s a legend, no doubt.”
