There is a very good chance that Kevin De Bruyne will continue in the Premier League after leaving Manchester City at the end of the current season.
Sky Sports revealed that Aston Villa’s management is in internal discussions and is seriously considering submitting an official offer to the Belgian international for a one-year contract.
De Bruyne had previously opened the door to continuing in the Premier League if the right offer came his way.
However, in the case of Aston Villa, the 33-year-old would have to make some concessions, most notably accepting a salary that would be significantly lower than his current salary at Manchester City.
Meanwhile, De Bruyne has lucrative offers from the United States and Saudi Arabia, leaving his final decision unknown at this time.
De Bruyne expressed his family’s happiness in living in England, which increases the chances that he will either forego the salary or continue to play if Aston Villa’s negotiations with him reach an advanced stage.
The Aston Villa project may be attractive to De Bruyne, as it would guarantee him continued participation in the world’s top leagues and participation in the Champions League.
De Bruyne is one of the Premier League’s most important legends, having played 284 matches over nine years, scoring 71 goals and providing 121 assists.
