Heaps has revealed the MLS's newest franchise is working on bringing De Bruyne to the 'States.
He said: “Those rumours, I don’t know where they come from. I talked to the agent.
“The agent has many players, obviously. Every time I see it, I say, ‘Are you the one that is saying all this stuff?'
“He’s a fantastic footballer and he loves this area.
“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.”
