Although Inter Miami CF: Chicago Fire FC are in active discussions with Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne over a designated player deal with the club, emerging as the frontrunner to sign the Belgian playmaker should he choose to move to Major League Soccer.

De Bruyne, 33, recently announced his decision to leave Manchester City at the end of the season upon the expiration of his contract. He has been a key figure at the club since joining in 2015, helping them secure four consecutive Premier League titles.

Although Inter Miami CF currently holds De Bruyne’s MLS discovery rights - a rule that gives them the right of first refusal - they are unlikely to pursue him due to having already filled all three of their designated player slots with Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Lionel Messi, all of whom are out of contract at season’s end. This development has cleared a potential path for Chicago.
