Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne is entering the final year of his contract, and the question on everyone’s mind is: will he still be a Blue by next summer? The Belgian midfielder has been an integral part of Pep Guardiola’s squad, winning numerous titles and cementing his status as a Premier League legend.
De Bruyne’s impressive CV includes six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, five League Cups, and the Champions League. He’s also been a key player for the Belgian national team, earning 105 caps and scoring 28 goals.
However, with his contract set to expire in the summer of 2025, City may be facing a dilemma. If De Bruyne decides to leave, they’ll need to act quickly to secure a transfer fee or risk losing him for free.
According to reports, De Bruyne has agreed personal terms with Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League. If true, this could be a massive blow to City, who will need to find a replacement for the influential midfielder.
Fortunately, the club has a plan in place. They’ve drawn up a shortlist of potential replacements, including PSG’s Xavi Simons, Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz, and Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala.
De Bruyne’s departure would undoubtedly be a significant loss for City, but it’s not the end of the world. The club has a strong squad and a talented crop of young players coming through the ranks.
So, what’s next for De Bruyne? Will he stay at City and fight for a new contract, or will he take the plunge and join Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia? Only time will tell.
