MLS club reveal shock talks with Kevin De Bruyne - with the Man City legend set to leave on a free when his contract expires

The MLS' newest club has reportedly held shock talks with Kevin De Bruyne over a potential move for the Manchester City legend.

De Bruyne missed much of last season through injury, and looked destined to depart the club in the summer to join Cristiano Ronaldo at Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad.

Ultimately the move did not materialise, with the Belgian opting to remain at the Etihad as he entered the final year of his contract.

However, injuries have continued to hamper the 33-year-old's involvement for Pep Guardiola's struggling side this season and he has been limited to just 12 Premier League starts in the midst of the worst slump in the Catalan's time at the club.
