Newly-promoted MLS side Manchester City are reportedly in talks with Kevin De Bruyne over a move for the Manchester City legend.
De Bruyne has missed several games this season due to injury and appeared to have made up his mind to leave the club last summer to join Karim Benzema at Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia.
Ultimately, the move never materialised, with the Belgium international opting to remain at the Etihad Stadium as he enters the final year of his current deal.
However, injuries have continued to hamper the 33-year-old’s involvement in Pep Guardiola’s struggling side this season, with him starting just 12 Premier League games amid the worst slump of his time at the club.

“I don’t know where those rumors come from,” Heaps said.
“I’ve spoken to my agent, he has a lot of players. Every time I see a player I ask myself, ‘Are you the one who said these things?’
“He’s a great player and he loves the area. He visits here every year, but I’m not sure where that rumour came from.”
“I’ve spoken to him, but let me tell you, those wages don’t fit into our budget right now compared to his expectations,”
