GOOD NEWS: De Bruyne has confirmed that he will leave Man City on a free transfer this summer as his contract has not been renewed, and he want to join Leeds United

Manchester City icon Kevin De Bruyne is in discussions with a Major League Soccer outfit as his ideal switch to the US reignites, according to a report.The attacking midfielder has been one of City’s best ever players, though the club opted against extending his deal due to his fitness problems this seasonBut ESPN report that the Belgian’s switch across the pond is back on, as Chicago Fire are ‘in talks’ to land him on a designated player contract.

Fire ‘have the inside track’ for De Bruyne and are favourites to take him to MLS.

Inter Miami have ‘first refusal’ for De Bruyne thanks to ‘discovery rights’, which is a rule designed to stop MLS clubs from bidding against each other for the same big-name star.

David Beckham’s franchise have already filled all their designated player slots however, which has ‘opened the door’ for Fire to swoop in.

Fire are also leading New York City FC and D.C. United in the chase for the 33-year-old.
