a development that’s rocking the football world, Manchester United have reportedly reached personal terms with Kevin De Bruyne, setting the stage for what could become one of the most explosive transfers in Premier League history. The 33-year-old Belgian playmaker, a modern icon of English football, now appears to be on the brink of a stunning switch from Manchester City to their bitter rivals.
With his current City contract expiring in 2025, the champions are said to be open to a summer sale to avoid losing him on a free. United have seized the moment, presenting De Bruyne with a lucrative offer and a pivotal role in Ruben Amorim’s upcoming rebuild.
Hints of this shocking turn were dropped by De Bruyne himself, who recently told reporters, “I’m willing to listen.” That comment alone sparked wild speculation, but he added fuel to the fire when asked about United specifically:
“Football is unpredictable. I’ve always respected United as a historic club. Playing for them? I’d love the chance to be part of that legacy.”
News of the agreement has set Old Trafford alight with anticipation. The idea of De Bruyne orchestrating attacks in red, just down the road from his former home, is exhilarating for United fans—and gut-wrenching for City loyalists.
Talks between the clubs are ongoing, with United believed to be readying a ÂŁ40 million bid to bring the deal across the line. Insiders suggest an agreement could be reached in the coming weeks.
If finalized, this would mark one of the most sensational player moves the league has ever seen. As the football world watches closely, one thing is certain: the story is far from over.
