So, what happened?
With Kevin De Bruyne’s contract with Manchester City set to expire in the summer of 2025, there has been much speculation about him joining the Saudi Pro League this summer.
Although the eight-time Premier League champions are reluctant to let him go, they are preparing for his departure.
Christian Falk reports that Manchester City views Jamal Musiala of Bayern Munich as De Bruyne’s potential replacement if the playmaker leaves the Etihad.
Since his debut for Der Rekordmeister in 2020, the 21-year-old has been outstanding, and Pep Guardiola’s team believes he is the perfect fit to fill the gap left by De Bruyne.
Did you know?
The German player was in contract negotiations with Bayern Munich last season, but talks stalled over the summer. Manchester City has the financial capability to secure a deal.
What’s next for Man City?
The Premier League champions would prefer to keep De Bruyne, but they are unwilling to offer him a long-term contract extension and would not prevent him from leaving if he wishes to depart.
