TBR Football can exclusively confirm the latest involving San Diego FC’s pursuit of Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne.
The Citizens midfielder has enjoyed a wonderful career at the Etihad Stadium, making a name for himself as one of the greatest midfielder🐼s in the game.

TBR Football is told that San Diego are confident that De Bruyn🌼e, who turns 34 this summer, is close to finalising 🧸terms to move to California.

Who Manchester City have identified as potential Kevin De Bruyne replacement
TBR Football understands t💟hat Man City have been doing work🍸 on potential replacements for De Bruyne.
One name that has emerged as a play♑er of real interest for Manchester City is Charles De Kete🅰laere, who plays for Italian outfit Atalanta.
De Ketelaere has 🔥b🌄een described as a ‘complete’ player by Club Brugge icon Gert Verheyen.
Goal.com also compared the £20million Atalanta man – who has 20 caps for Belgium ಞ– to Liverpool cult hero Roberto Firmino.
‘A naturally selfless player, De Ketelaere 💝has taken to acting as a ‘false nine’ as if it were a position he has played all his life,’ they wrote.
‘He is tasked♑ with acting as a facilitator for others as well as with scoring goals himself – much like Roberto Firmino (then) at Liverpool – and is thriving.’
