HLN says initial contact between San Diego and De Bruyne is set to move onto the next stage.
San Diego will enter the MLS next season and want De Bruyne to be their answer to Inter Miami's Leo Messi.
The Americans are willing to match De Bruyne's current City wages to convince him to move to MLS in 2025.
