Kevin De Bruyne has already made his feelings clear on playing with Lionel Messi amid reports linking him with a stunning move to Inter Miami. De Bruyne is set to leave Manchester City when his contract expires at the end of the season.
The 33-year-old has won 16 major trophies since joining the Etihad outfit, including six Premier League titles and the Champions League in their treble-winning campaign in 2023.
He showed what Manchester City will be missing as he inspired his side to a come-from-behind victory over Crystal Palace last weekend. After helping Man City to a big 5-2 victory over Palace, De Bruyne dropped a bombshell regarding his future. Several clubs are thought to be keeping tabs on him ahead of the summer.
Inter Miami are among the teams eyeing a transfer for De Bruyne in a move that would see him link up with Messi, who joined the MLS side in the summer of 2023. The Belgian star has never played with Messi but a switch to Inter Miami would see them become teammates.
De Bruyne prefers Ronaldo as a striker
But Inter Miami boss Javier Mascherano could struggle to get both playmakers into the same starting XI. That’s judging by De Bruyne’s comments when asked to pick between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
