A source at Inter Miami has confirmed the club's position on signing Belgian Kevin De Bruyne, particularly after the reports circulating about the American club entering negotiations with the Belgium national team midfielder.
The source explained, in statements to the "ESPN" network, that Inter Miami never initiated contact with De Bruyne, nor held any talks with the Belgium midfielder, despite the ongoing reports linking him with a move to the club.
Instead, the source said, Inter Miami will focus on making the most of their current squad during the Leagues Cup and the upcoming Major League Soccer matches.
