The 33-year-old has entered the final year of his current deal at the Etihad, meaning that he will be able to leave the Citizens as a free agent in the summer.
De Bruyne has recently made his return from injury and started the 2-1 local derby defeat to Manchester United at the Etihad on Sunday afternoon.
Man City raced into a first-half lead courtesy of Josko Gvardiol, however the Red Devils managed to stage a late turnaround thanks to goals from Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo.
De Bruyne and the Citizens will be looking to address their alarming dip in form when they visit Aston Villa in the Second City on Saturday afternoon.
De Bruyne has 'two options' ahead of looming Man City exit
According to The Athletic, De Bruyne's options are beginning to appear ahead of a potential exit from the English champions at the end of the season.
The report claims that the veteran midfielder could depart Man City to either the riches of Saudi Arabia or the luxury of MLS in the United States.
De Bruyne has previously revealed that he would consider a switch to the Middle East, given the large sums of money on offer for top players.
It is understood that the Saudi Pro League's PIF-backed clubs are possible destinations for the Belgian, who was a key part of his country's golden generation.
On the other hand, there is a reality in which De Bruyne signs a one-year contract extension at the Etihad, committing his talents to Man City until the summer of 2026.
Where should De Bruyne go?
Preparing to celebrate his 34th birthday next summer, it is undeniable that De Bruyne is beginning to enter the twilight of his professional career.
With four goal contributions across limited minutes in the Premier League this season, the playmaker still has plenty to offer at the top level of football.
That being said, given that he has already won most of the sport's biggest honours on the club stage, De Bruyne may feel that it is time to explore new avenues, such as the Saudi Pro League or MLS.
