Real Madrid could swoop for Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne

Belgian magazine Sport/Foot reports that Kevin De Bruyne is considering his future at Manchester City and is in fact exploring a move to Real Madrid.

With City facing a potential suspension from European football after having been adjudged to have violated Financial Fair Play rules, the Belgian title suggests that De Bruyne isn't keen on waiting for European nights to return to the Etihad, and instead fancies a move, with the Bernabeu his preferred destination.

De Bruyne would cost Real around €150 million.

City are objecting to UEFA's suspension and if they can get it overturned, or at least delayed for another year, it might have a knock-on effect on De Bruyne's long-term plans and keep him in Manchester.

De Bruyne's attacking capabilities would certainly make him a welcome addition to Real Madrid's midfield.
