De Bruyne finds it difficult to play alongside Messi

Chicago Fire have edged out Inter Miami as the frontrunners in the race to sign Kevin De Bruyne.

Kevin De Bruyne is likely to move to Major League Soccer (MLS) this summer.

According to CBS , Chicago Fire has a big advantage in recruiting De Bruyne. Chicago Fire is willing to pay the Belgian midfielder a salary equivalent to his current income in England.

This is an attractive offer, especially considering that Major League Soccer (MLS) teams are often limited by strict financial regulations.

Meanwhile, Inter Miami, despite having Lionel Messi and the ambition to build a strong squad, are struggling to meet De Bruyne's financial demands. Barriers over salary and league regulations make it difficult for Beckham's team to negotiate.

Inter Miami's current wage bill is huge, having to pay the salaries of Messi, Suarez, Alba and Busquets. Chicago Fire currently has no big foreign stars in their squad, which allows them to focus all their efforts on De Bruyne.

De Bruyne will end his 10-year association with Manchester City at the end of the current season, after the club decided not to renew his contract, which expires at the end of June. The decision opens up opportunities for teams in MLS and Saudi Arabia.

The Times believes that if given the choice between the Middle East and the US, De Bruyne and his small family would prioritize the US - where they have often vacationed before.

The only problem for teams interested in signing De Bruyne is that it is still unclear when the player will officially leave Manchester City. His contract expires right after the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup group stage, on June 30.

De Bruyne is still showing impressive form when he scored the only goal to help Man City beat Wolves 1-0 in the match that took place in the early morning of May 3, in round 35 of the Premier League.
