Aston Villa have reportedly engaged in internal discussions regarding the potential acquisition of Kevin De Bruyne. The club might express interest in the 33-year-old midfielder once he departs from Manchester City. Earlier this month, De Bruyne indicated that the current season would mark his final one at the Etihad Stadium, as it is the concluding year of his contract. The Belgian international, having secured 16 trophies with Manchester City, including six Premier League titles and the Champions League, is anticipated to leave after spending ten years with the club. His hesitance to relocate his family and his emphasis on maintaining a balance between his football career and family life have prompted several Premier League clubs, among them Aston Villa, to closely monitor his future plans. Sky Sports News has reached out to Aston Villa for a statement regarding their interest. De Bruyne, who was signed by City in a £54.5m transfer from Wolfsburg in 2015, has since emerged as one of the most pivotal figures in the Premier League's history.
