Manchester City will hope to record a third straight Champions League win when they travel to face Portuguese side Sporting CP on Tuesday night.
The Citizens were held to a goalless draw by Inter Milan in the first match of their group phase campaign, but they have since beaten Slovan Bratislava and Sparta Prague 4-0 and 5-0 respectively.
Tuesday’s match will also give City boss Pep Guardiola the opportunity to pit himself against soon-to-be Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim, before the Portuguese takes charge of the Red Devils later this month.
In the meantime, though, it appears that City could soon lose one of their most important players.
As per GiveMeSport, midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is now ‘more likely than ever’ to leave the club.
The Belgian is currently in the final year of his contract with the Citizens, and his future has been the subject of intense speculation in recent months.
De Bruyne has suffered with injuries over the past couple of years
MLS side San Diego FC are keen to reach an agreement with the midfielder to sign him as a free agent when his deal expires next summer, the report claims.
De Bruyne, 33, joined City from Bundesliga side Wolfsburg back in 2015 and has since played 388 times for the Manchester side, registering a combined 274 goals and assists.
The report suggests that De Bruyne’s injury struggles over the past couple of years make it unlikely that City would offer him an extension to his current deal, which earns him around £400,000-per-week.
The Belgium international has already missed nine games across all competitions due to a hamstring injury so far this season, and he was an unused substitute as City lost to Bournemouth on Saturday.
De Bruyne also missed around four months of last season, perhaps suggesting that his fitness is increasingly becoming a concern for City.
