If it's Kevin De Bruyne that wants to leave, then I don't think Manchester City has any option to keep him, but if it's for the fact is Guardiola that wants to sell him, and selling him when they've not gotten a good replacement , would be an ugly decision to make as we've seen number of time when Manchester City played without De Bruyne and how majority of those games thy found it difficult winning them.
De Bruyne from observation is a player I believe Pep Guardiola really like, and I'm yet to see reasons why he would be sold since he's still fit to player and not in any serious injury, and except they want to sell him for profit making.

Kevin De Bruyne has always had a place of honor at Manchester City, he will not leave as long as he is still fit to play. There is a lot of speculation about De Bruyne's future as he will leave for the Saudi League but it looks like he will finish his contract in Manchester. City also don't want to be careless in making decisions, Gundogan's departure last season had a big impact on the team, especially if they lose the Belgian man again, City will lose its identity. Guardiola will let KDB go if he can find the right replacement.

Yeah, Kevin De Bruyne is one of the important players in the Manchester City squad therefore Manchester City will not just let him go and I can't imagine how Manchester City will play without KDB unless Manchester City has found a replacement. On the other hand, De Bruyne's contract will end in the middle of next year this means there is a risk that Manchester City will lose the player for free unless he agrees to a new contract. By the way, Kevin De Bruyne market value has continued to decline since 2020 from 150 million now only 50 million.

You forget to mention lukaku ahs ever played for manchester united as well. Im doubting why some seria a clubs are doubting him. He has ever experienced enough compared to the juventus's striker. Lukaku has been playing in so many clubs. He knows very well how to play as a good striker.
Lukaku has even proven how he is very consistent with his performance when he was playing in the various clbus but he is always showing stable performance.

Look at this stats below



His statistic is even getting better when he was playing at serie a. He was even often scoring in serie a compared to the when he was at premier league. I think napoli needs to recruit him as a new striker at this time.
This is very good for serie a club tor ecruit hium as a new striker. Things may be different when he will be playing at napoli.

Osimhen needs to get a new competitor to play in the main squad. Having lukaku on napoli is very great decision. I hope conte will consider to recruit himf rom chelsea consider lukaku's price is very cheap.

I know everyone loves a good transfer rumor, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Things are going well for KDB. He's a fighter. He's not even in his mid-30s yet, but look at the guys still doing great in Europe: Modric and Kroos are almost retirement age in football, but they're still winning titles.

City wont let KDB leave easily because he has a deal with them and is their top player. Even though he's been hurt a few times, he's still scoring goals and setting up others like it's nothing. What about the Saudi league? Its not even close to being as good as the Premier League. KDB wants to be known as a legend, and you dont become a legend by playing in a bad league.

Okay, people might not know this but Roy Keane also hit that guy with his elbow. Basically, it was a revenge elbow. Actually, I am sure that Roy is not going to get into any kind of problem with that. Because we all know that there is nothing called justice in the law system. If you have enough money you can get away with almost anything. I am not saying that Scott Law has done something right by the way. What he has done is definitely not right. At the same time, I am of course assuming a lot. Because I was not there first of all. I did not see what happened and I am always going to assume things based on what I see on the Internet and watching the recordings.

De Bruyne has won almost everything in European league football. So he might just decide to go to the Saudi Arabia league to make more money. He could make more money than he had made in his entire career in two years playing in the Gulf League. But he has to consider so many factors before making his decisions. The interest of his family will be his utmost priority because Saudi society is different from Europe. He has to consider if his family will have to remain in England while he moves to SPL.

So many players have come up with different reasons why they moved to Saudi Arabia. One of the players claimed that his earnings would help him fund some humanitarian projects in his homeland. Others have claimed that they want to help the League grow. But their main motivating factor is indeed money. If Ronaldo, Neymar, and other superstars moved to SPL, it would not be strange to see the Belgian playmaker in the league next season.

De Bruyne is a very respected player. Everyone saw and appreciated what he did for Manchester City. If De Bruyne leaves the team, City will need to find a replacement for De Bruyne. It is very difficult to replace such a player and we will see what City do about it. De Bruyne still has some time left on his contract, but City must hurry to look for a new player.

De Bruyne knows it would be good to earn more money towards the end of his football career. It is quite normal for a player whose career is full of success to make such a decision.

Currently there are no rumors about De Buryne's future, whether he will be sold to a Saudi Arabian club or not, but what is certain is that your concerns will be answered when Pep Guardiola will have another alternative to bring in new players to fill the void that will be left by De Bruyne and of course, this new player has the same performance as De Bruyne and can unite with Haaland to maintain Manchester United's performance.
Haaland and De Bruyne are a very close pair of players, these two players can always work together with strategies that are able to outwit opponents and can help Haaland to score, so that later when Manchester City decides to sell De Bruyne, Pep Guardiola will definitely have a new player who will targeted starting next season.

Talking about where De Bruyne will go when he leaves Manchester City, he will definitely pursue his dream of competing with his favorite player, CR7, and someone has said before that De Bruyne really wants to appear with this star player.

KDB has made a considerable contribution at Manchester City so it is appropriate for Manchester City to respect all decisions it takes later, currently KDB still has a contract until 2025, so we can say that next season is his last season with Manchester City, indeed so far KDB has been Manchester City mainstay in managing attacks and also Manchester City midfield,  so indeed if KDB leaves, of course, it will make Manchester City midfield a little vulnerable and of course will interfere with the attacking scheme that has been implemented by Guardiola, even though KDB's age is no longer young but so far Guardiola has continued to trust him for the position of midfielder as well as being the motor of Manchester City attack, but even so, I think Manchester City will certainly consider the big offer that comes to them later,  Because it can be ascertained that Al Nassr or other Arab clubs that want to bring in KDB will certainly offer quite a lot of money for KDB regardless of their current age.

Next season is KDB last season at Manchester City, so it is indeed better for Manchester City to release KDB so that he can earn a lot of money than to wait for KDB's contract to expire later, I think if KDB goes to the Arab league of course he will earn a lot of money later and of course it will be able to guarantee his life after he completely retires from football, at his current age of course he is still able to play at least 3 or 4 more seasons before he retires.

Alvarez may leave City this year, so the bingo started.
According to Fabrizio Romano, PSG in interested in him.

Manchester City will talk with Guardiola over his future, he already said that he wil lleave soon.

Spurs are going for Gallagher.

What happen to Hazard was constant severe long-term injury but for Mbappe, he's no such player that picks up injury, he's not vulnerable to to these critical conditions and will always belt up for challenges. Eden Hazard prime ended the moment he agreed to move to Real Madrid. The Belgium international had golden opportunities but he failed to meet them up because he lost form and couldn't comprehend the desirable expectations from fans. But in Kylian Mbappe case, there's none like this and we know how important this particular move is for Mbappe, he's here to win major trophies and will do everything within his possession to ensure he's having a smooth run in Real Madrid, his new team.

De Bruyne is the soul of Manchester City, it would be hard to let him go if there is no suitable replacement. I'm still sure Guardiola still really wants him and he can at least play for the next two seasons. However, De Bruyne's frequent injuries might make Manchester City make other options or sell him to a Saudi League club. Currently Manchester City does not have a capable midfielder, after Gundongan left last season and De Bruyne was frequently injured, we can see that Manchester City's rhythm of play is starting to decline, as a result Haaland is unable to do much in front of goal due to the lack of supply from the midfield like last season.

True, but I think there's a big difference between Hazard and Mbappe.

Hazard was popular because he joined Chelsea and can play very well for few years.

But, Mbappe was popular even when he was playing for Monaco, after he joined PSG and can show his capability for one season, his popularity keep increasing.

What I want to say is Mbappe can always consistent while Hazard only appeared for few years, just like average of great players.

Kevin De Bruyne has a contract that ties him to Manchester City until the end of next season, but we never know whether Manchester City are still interested in extending it for 2 seasons or 1 more season. So far Kevin De Bruyne is an important player at Manchester City, of course losing him must be prepared carefully and this takes time to find the right option.

Kevin De Bruyne will be 33 years old on June 28, but his career as a great midfielder is not over yet. Modric and Kroos are much older than him, but the coach can still rely on both players even though he has to rotate them as often as possible so that their stamina is good. The decision is up to the player or Manchester City, but I believe De Bruyne will be retained for at least the next two seasons.

 I feel KDB should go over to the Saudi league and ply his trade there because if you look at it, the Belgian has won all there is to win at Man City and even in his country. Yesterday's game against Montenegro made it his 100 cap for the country and at his age, if he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity, who knows if he won't get plagued by injury that may see him out of football that when he comes back, he won't be as deadly.
We've seen big names that moved to the Saudi pro league and are doing well and if it's Al Nassr that will be seeking his services, I think it will be needed and much welcomed because although there's Sadio mane and Ronaldo as the bigger names, the club haven't been able to lift any major trophy and I feel if the Belgian accepts to go there, he coupled with the others can make a difference there.

You got me wrong my friend.    There isn't such offer by Atletico Madrid. Instead they just want those three players to ask Alvarez about whether he has any intention to join Atletico Madrid. They are of the same nation with him you know.

Sometimes this kind of strategies can really help. However I don't see any reason for Alvarez to leave a winner team. He is playing in so many games at the same time. There isn't such situation like Guardiola benches him. If his situation was the same with Palmer then I would rather see Alvarez leaving not to waste his talent by waiting for his turn for a long time. Alvarez is the future of Manchester City. No matter Haaland stays or leaves they would have plans with Alvarez.

Atletico Madrid clearly really needs a center forward considering they have no longer extended Memphis Depay's contract. Alvarez will clearly be the mainstay center forward because Morata and Griezmann need rotation considering he is already 30 years old. Julian Alvarez is a good fit for Atletico Madrid's game, but I'm not sure if Manchester City would be willing to let him go especially because Alvarez is a player that Pep Guardiola also relies on besides Haaland.

In the 2023-2024 season, Julian Alvarez made 36 appearances with Manchester City in the Premier League, scoring 11 goals and 9 assists. He is increasingly developing under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola, but of course Julian Alvarez is not Pep's first choice as long as Haaland is available and ready to play at any time. Alvarez needs more playing time, so he can decide his future if that is what is expected even if Pep Guardiola wants to keep him.

Well, this will clearly be very difficult for the player. I think PSG and Atletico Madrid are both capable of paying Alvarez's release clause to Manchester City, but Alvarez will certainly have to consider which team is most likely to achieve the most success instead of high minutes played.

Pep Guardiola will not make Alvarez a replacement for De Bruyne, meaning Alvarez is not suitable for that position. Alvarez can play on the right wing or second striker, but he is not very good at occupying the position that De Bruyne will leave.

De Bruyne has his decision to make as a professional player, and you should also know that he might not want to stay anymore in Manchester city but wants to explore more so that he can play for some more time in Saudi.

I would not blame him, because he has achieved alot of trophies, so let him settle for the pay. It is good that a player is successful in trophies and in his income. More trophies, higher income shows 100% success. His contributions will be valuable in Al Nassr.

Now players have to give their best to be able to get into the starting line up every week and I'm sure they also realize that, especially since they are in a club which is a big club, so when they can't compete then they will be in bench all the time. Rodrygo is a great player and he has even been the difference in several of Real Madrid's matches, so he will try hard to gain the coach's trust.

We can see Hazard when he was at Real Madrid, previously he was a great player, he was even the player who was the main choice at his previous club. However, when he couldn't compete with other players in the squad, he became a player who always sat on the bench. This has the potential to happen to all players, including Mbappe. Even though he is a star player, he also has to work hard to always perform well.
