The news has now broken that Kevin De Bruyne will be leaving Manchester City at the end of his contract, which means in the summer of 2025. Whilst some ponder what City will do without their legendary creator, we consider what De Bruyne’s next club might be.
Odds for Kevin De Bruyne's Next Club
The latest betting odds for Kevin De Bruyne's next club are listed below. Odds stated were correct at the time of writing.
De Bruyne's Next Club: Where Could He Go?
Rewind a few years and it is not farfetched to suggest that De Bruyne, 33, could have had his pick of any club in the world if he announced he was leaving Man City. Fast forward to today though and, in truth, the Belgian playmaker has struggled with injuries, lost a yard of pace and, ultimately, struggled to hit the heights he once set.
With that in mind, it is perhaps not overly surprising to see the former Chelsea man linked with a retirement-type move to a less high-profile footballing country. Equally though, there are some lofty prices out there for some clubs closer to home whilst BetVictor are, at the time of writing, offering a host of “Any [Insert Country Here] Club” style at 12/1; it could be a route to some value.
Any MLS Team 11/10
Leading the betting market for Kevin De Bruyne’s next club is the 11/10 priced “Any MLS team”. The Man City man has been likened to David Beckham in passing and creative style; could a link-up between the two famed right-footers be on the cards?
Surely, if the MLS move happens for De Bruyne, it will be Inter Miami, who are owned by Beckham, leading the chase. That said, other Premier League legendary midfielders have crossed the pond before too. Steven Gerrard joined LA Galaxy – another Beckham link – and Frank Lampard spent time with the City Group-owned New York City.

Any Saudi Pro League Team 13/8
The only betting option that comes close to the MLS is for De Bruyne to head to the Saudi Pro League before the end of the summer transfer window. There are a host of ageing stars out in Saudi right now, with Cristiano Ronaldo the headline name and De Bruyne would immediately go right towards the top of that list of brand ambassadors.
Money talks and the idea of a couple of years in the Saudi Pro League may well turn De Bruyne’s head. It was heavily floated as an option for him last year and we see little reason why it wouldn’t be an option this time round.

Bayern Munich 20/1
The idea of De Bruyne moving to another top European club doesn’t feel all that likely but BetVictor offering 20/1 on a move to Bayern Munich might just tempt a few punters.
De Bruyne has played in Germany previously so already knows the league and, of course, the bigger connection in this deal is the Bavarians’ manager; that is none other than De Bruyne’s form captain, Vincent Kompany.
Would Kompany want him? Could he convince him?

Genk 25/1
A move to the MLS or Saudi Pro League would be a real lifestyle move for De Bruyne in the twilight of his career. What about if De Bruyne’s idea of a lifestyle move isn’t laced in money or glitz and glam though? Does the Belgian Pro League then appeal? It is his homeland after all.
The lowest priced Belgian side in the betting is Genk with bet365 at a 25/1 price. De Bruyne started his professional career for the club after coming through their youth system. Could he make the romantic move back to where it all began? We’re not sure 25/1 is a big enough price for such a punt.
