A page will turn on the side of Manchester City. After ten seasons at the club, Kevin de Bruyne officially announced that he would leave the Sky Blues this summer. At 33, the Belgian attacking midfielder is said to have distanced himself from the very high level and could bounce back in the United States, where Inter Miami and San Diego FC dream of attracting him, or in Saudi Arabia, where several formations would be ready to spend fortunes to enlist it.

His departure will leave a huge void in the midfield of the Citizens who, behind the scenes, prepare his succession. According to The Athletictwo players have already been identified to replace it: Florian Wirtz and Morgan Gibbs-White. The young German international (21) is currently making the heyday of Leverkusen but risks costing very dear. Bayer leaders would not actually plan to sell it for less than 150 million euros.

The English midfielder (25 years old), who has been playing in Nottingham Forest since 2022, has the advantage of knowing the Premier League well, where he remains on three solid seasons, and to be worth only 50 million euros, according to the special site
