KEVIN DE BRUYNE has spoken to San Diego as he weighs up his future.

San Diego, the newest MLS club, still have a designated player slot available.

“He goes on holidays here every single year, but I’m not sure where that rumour keeps coming from.
“I’ve had conversations with him, but I’ll tell you what, those wages won’t fit our budget at the moment in terms of what his expectations are.”
San Diego are MLS’ latest club, having played their first ever game in February.
They are yet to lose a game and sit second in the MLS Western Conference.
